A member asked:

Does birth control cause anxiety & depression over being anxious? i'll start panicking over something then be completely fine about it 10 mins later.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sometimes: If you are more anxious and depressed since starting birth control, it may be a side effect. Compare your mood and anxiety level since being on birth control to before. If your mood /anxiety is worse, tell your doctor and see if there is another birth control or lower dose he/she can recommend. That being said, most females I see taking birth control are fine. But check with your doctor if unsure
