Yes: Yes, Nexplanon can be associated with depression. If you have a previous history of depression, this needs to be carefully monitored. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17853166 and http://www.Drugs.Com/pro/nexplanon.Html.

Yes: During clinical trials of Nexplanon there was reported a 5.5% incidence of depression with 1% of patients dropping out of the trial because of depression. While the incidence of depression is fairly low, it obviously can be associated with nexplanon.
