Yes: It is possible for any hormone to cause a change in a person's normal moods. That includes hormones contained in birth control pills as well as androgenic hormones like testosterone. The mood disturbances caused from exogenous (from outside the body) hormones can become so severe that a person can even feel suicidal. I would discuss with your prescribing physician immediately any such symptoms.
