Yet, week after week I still see women asking about their mental health symptoms on Facebook groups, \u201cis it the Pill or just me?\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, many women don\u2019t find answers from their doctors or even mental health professionals if their depressive or anxious symptoms are due to hormonal contraceptives. Perhaps because contraception is seen as a \u201cgiven\u201d for all young women of reproductive age, there seems to be a major blind spot in recognizing and addressing the problematic mental health side effects of birth control.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A woman named Rachael left a&nbsp;telling&nbsp;comment at the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/fda-petition-hormonal-contraceptives-birth-control-side-effects-2019\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FDA Citizen\u2019s Petition<\/a>&nbsp;filed in 2019, which&nbsp;is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.regulations.gov\/document\/FDA-2019-P-2289-0001\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">still open for comment<\/a>.&nbsp;Immediately after being prescribed the Pill at age 18,&nbsp;she&nbsp;said, she experienced multiple side effects, including depression.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cWhen I discussed these symptoms with my doctors, I was told that I wasn\u2019t drinking enough water, I was simply underweight or that there was something wrong with me\u2014not the medication \u2026 In fact, every Gynecologist I\u2019ve ever seen pushes the pill or another form of hormonal birth control with me even after I discuss with them\u00a0all of\u00a0my concerns regarding the bad side effects I\u2019ve had in the past. I find this strange, because whenever I discuss side effects with doctors about other medications, they do their best to avoid it\u00a0if at all possible, or switch to ones that work differently. Hormonal birth control is the only medication I\u2019ve ever been not just prescribed, but actively encouraged to take despite having an adverse reaction to every single brand I\u2019ve ever taken.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-your-doctor-ignores-the-mental-health-side-effects-of-birth-control\"><span id=\"why-your-doctor-ignores-the-mental-health-side-effects-of-birth-control\">Why your doctor ignores the mental health side effects of birth control<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/Lj1qkebASR0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">interview<\/a>&nbsp;with Natural Womanhood this year, Lisa Hendrickson-Jack, founder of the <a href=\"https:\/\/fertilityfriday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fertility Friday<\/a> podcast and author of <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Fifth-Vital-Sign-Optimize-Fertility\/dp\/1999428005\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Fifth Vital Sign<\/a><\/em>, explained:&nbsp;\u201cWe already know women are considered more emotional\u2026&nbsp;all of&nbsp;the stereotypes\u2026 so when you as a woman go to a doctor and say that you have anxiety, depression, or panic attacks, there\u2019s this inherent issue with \u2018well that\u2019s a part of being a woman.\u2019 So, there\u2019s an inherent barrier to proper diagnosis and care in general and I think we can all recognize those stereotypes.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hendrickson-Jack noted that, although every hormonal contraceptive product insert discloses that mental health effects like depression and mood change are among the most common side effects, many doctors dismiss the severity when patients bring them up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat I learned when I interviewed a number of doctors over the years on the [Fertility Friday] podcast,\u201d Hendrickson-Jack said, \u201cis that in medical school it seems as though doctors are taught about the life-threatening side effects and how to mitigate those risks, almost to the exclusion of the non-life-threatening risks.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;When it comes to anxiety and depression,&#8221; she said, \u201cmany doctors don\u2019t seem to know or aren\u2019t necessarily familiar with those [birth control] side effects.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-teens-are-at-the-greatest-risk\"><span id=\"teens-are-at-the-greatest-risk\">Teens are at the greatest risk<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hendrickson-Jack continued:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cA scary stat to illustrate this is that <a href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jamapsychiatry\/fullarticle\/2552796\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">teenage girls who are on hormonal contraceptives are much more likely to also be on antidepressants<\/a>. There\u2019s research and studies that show this correlation. If you knew that hormonal contraceptives increase your chance of depression, anxiety, then if a 16-year-old comes into your office and says she\u2019s depressed you could say, \u2018Are you on hormonal contraceptives? There\u2019s a link there, so maybe we come off it for some months and see if there\u2019s an improvement, and if there isn\u2019t, then we can look at some other prescription or some other treatment for that.\u2019 That\u2019s not what happens.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cSo for adult women that are facing these side effects and symptoms, the hard truth is it\u2019s kind of up to you to educate yourself on those most common\u00a0[birth control]\u00a0side effects because\u00a0it&#8217;s\u00a0not every time that you go into your doctor\u2019s office that those links are going to be made, and you\u2019re maybe more likely to come out with another prescription for an antidepressant than you are for someone to make the link that it could be related to the birth control.\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>All of this is especially troubling when we consider&nbsp;how in 2017,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ajp.psychiatryonline.org\/doi\/abs\/10.1176\/appi.ajp.2017.17060616\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>The American Journal of Psychiatry<\/em><\/a>&nbsp;published a study&nbsp;of nearly a half million Danish girls, which found that&nbsp;girls and women using hormonal contraception were almost two times more likely to attempt suicide than those not taking the&nbsp;drugs, and&nbsp;were over three times more likely to succeed in their suicide attempt.&nbsp;There have also been accounts of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/hormonal-birth-control-the-pill-depression-symptoms-of-psychosis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">women experiencing symptoms of other psychological problems such as anxiety and mood disorders<\/a>\u2014symptoms which disappeared as soon as these women stopped taking their contraceptive drugs.&nbsp;All this has begun making more sense as new&nbsp;studies&nbsp;discover the effects that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/could-the-pill-literally-be-shrinking-your-brain\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hormonal contraceptives have on the brain<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-better-way-to-plan-your-family-get-help-for-infertility-or-heal-painful-and-irregular-cycles\"><span id=\"a-better-way-to-plan-your-family-get-help-for-infertility-or-heal-painful-and-irregular-cycles\">A better way to plan your family, get help for infertility, or heal painful and irregular cycles<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The good news is women don\u2019t need to resort to hormonal contraceptives, or even the&nbsp;also-problematic <a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/is-copper-iud-toxic-painful-cause-hormone-imbalance-side-effects-thyroid-natural-birth-control-08112018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">copper IUD<\/a>, in order to regulate their periods or practice effective family planning.
