What We Discuss:
- Birth control pills can potentially affect brain development in teenagers, raising concerns about prescribing them for non-contraceptive reasons like acne treatment.
- There's a possible link between birth control use and increased risk of depression, especially in younger women (up to 300% increased risk for teenagers).
- The politicization of birth control information has led to extreme views on both sides, making it difficult for women to access balanced, scientifically accurate information.
- Current research methods may mask individual experiences with birth control, as averaging results can hide significant variations among women.
- How women can empower themselves to take control of their reproductive health while being mindful of potential impacts on their overall well-being.
