The Impact of Estrogen Birth Control Pills on Mental Health

my birth control causes my depression and ptsd symptoms to spike and basically undoes all the work my anti depressants do, so i go off them for large periods of time and i feel better but the pcos symptoms get worse (cramps and fatigue mostly). I've expressed this to my therapist and we're currently looking for alternatives to treat my pcos without the hormonal stuff

getting it was super easy. They numb your arm before so that stings a little but its not bad at all. It was sore for a couple of days but nothing bad. I was on the mini pill for about 3 months before and had not a single side effect and it's the same hormone so I decided on the implant ans not have to worry about it for 3 years.

I absolutely can NOT do birth control with estrogen in it. It makes me so emotional and depressed and it gave me a headache literally all the time. I now have the birth control implant and it's the best decision I ever made

Yes actually that's why I got off mine.
