Several population studies have found that birth control pills can increase the risk for depression and anxiety. I want to correct what I said at the end: the actual study looked at half a million 15-year-old women and found that those taking birth control were twice as likely to... show more

Ok but why are 15-year old girls (not "women") on birth control in the first place, and is there consideration and control for that? Are they experiencing PCOS? Acne? Sexually active? 15 is young!

I had to start taking the pill when I was 11 because my bleeding wouldn’t stop. Within a year I was put on antidepressants, which made things far worse, and at such a confusing time. I stopped both before high school and did so much better. This study doesn’t surprise me at all.

I was warned not to take it decades ago for that very reason.

This is interesting - hormones certainly play a role in emotions. I wonder if those individuals who have it prescribed for medical needs, might have struggled no matter. A lot of confounds. But we also know birth control has a definite impact on emotional range, etc.

It also makes it a gateway to antidepressants an even more problems.

I felt complete anhedonia on the pill. A terrible way to feel. I will never take synthetic hormones again

Why the double standards? Is it valid to use causal language when referring to observational associations (as you are here) or invalid to do so (as you claim in your earlier tweet?).

Thank you. Too few know the risks. BC pills led to my hormone imbalance / infertility and autoimmune disease. Cipro and (failed) ivf treatments broke my biome and mitochondria. Now trapped in the prison of #mecfs. Try a collab with @ChanatLucine for the full scoop on the pill.

Progesterone, not synthetic “progestins” is an important modulator of GABA. Additionally, progesterone is broken down enzymatically to allopregnanolone very important for the brain, and it also raises BDNF. You might be aware there is an allopregnanolone based medication for post partum DEPRESSION.

Elon Musk: I think hormonal birth control is making a lot of women sad and depressed. “I think a lot of women are unaware that hormonal birth control causes depression and dramatically increases risk of suicide and changes their preferences on who they want to marry or have kids with.

You've seen what happened when I handed the science to someone who disagreed with me. This is what that study actually found. Vaccinated children were two and a half times more likely to have at least one chronic disease. Across every major health category in the study, the unvaccinated children were healthier. Those are his numbers from his study. I am gladly traveling the world to talk about it and the world is now watching "An Inconvenient Study"

It’s hard to believe this ever made TV news. But a sleeping pill study found you are “almost FIVE TIMES more likely to die [prematurely] if you pop the pills.” “And at a certain dosage, 35% likelier to get cancer.” “I don’t think there’s any dose which is safe,” said Dr. Daniel Kripke, one of the study’s leading researchers. The local news reporter noted: “This is not the first study to associate sleeping pills with a higher rate for mortality. Eighteen other studies have also established the link.” Sleeping pills “stop our brain cells from firing” to get us to sleep. And if they can increase our risk of death, what are the other risks that no one is talking about? 🧵

BRETT COOPER: "The fact that 1 in 4 women are on some kind of psychiatric medication, the fact that teenage girls are twice as likely to experience clinical depression and anxiety, the fact that they are more likely to experience gender dysphoria and significantly more likely to self-harm. Women’s happiness has been on a steady decline since the 1970s, marriage and birth rates have plummeted, while the number of women on OnlyFans and doing sex work continues to rise… I truly believe that this has created a psychological crisis that we are still trying to come back from."

"After 30 years of selling breast implants, there were zero clinical trials and epidemiological studies that were published. Zero. A million women had breast implants. Zero published epidemiological or clinical studies. So in 1991, the FDA finally required implant companies to submit safety data. Women with breast implants were twice as likely to die from brain cancer and three times as likely to die from lung cancer. Other government studies have found silicone in women's lymph nodes under their arms, and from there it can travel to other organs throughout their body, including their brains and their lungs. When the implant makers presented their data to the FDA just a few months ago, those studies just disappeared." President of the US National Center for Health Research Diana Zuckerman, 2005
