Combined oral contraceptives and mental health: Are adolescence and the gut-brain axis the missing links?

Wanna bet most parents are clueless...

And that their kid's pediatrician/s won't enlighten them about risks..

This is infuriating...

Especially the roles that Big Med, Big Pharma, and Big Ed are all playing.

Thanks for the excellent links.

I’m looking at an overlay of the various influences upon psychological development stages.

I realize that there is an additional presumption that if a woman is on birth control, they are also having sexual activity.

The bonding that happens in early sexual activity is a hinderance to self actualization and creates a dependency type personality rather than a strong healthy independent sense of self.
