Episode description
Birth control, especially progestin only methods, seem to take a lot of heat regarding their potential role in CAUSING depression.

In this podcast, we will review the study published in 2018, in the journal of Contraception, regarding this topic (Worly. The relationship between progestin hormonal contraception and depression: a systematic review. Contracep. 2018).
