Question for others: Do you think taking birth control causes depression / changes your personality? Saw a tiktok of Elon Musk talking about how it causes depression and suicidal thoughts and changes your personality as well as your sexual preferences. Wondering what others think of it

personally i think the sexual preferences is a load of rubbish, how can a pill cause you to suddenly not like your partner anymore? the depression aspect is in the pamphlet but i think it said it was a rare side effect

In the future this post needs a trigger warning. Please don't take Elon Musk as a reliable source. Do your own research on clinical studies of depression and birth control. A man who has like 8 kids from different women doesn't have a vested interest in spreading factual information about birth control

could not agree more ^^

(tw) for me, it’s def caused me more anxiety, but my pill was a little more common having that as a side effect. i wouldn’t say the sexual preference is true though.
