Review: All contraceptives methods are acceptable for women with depression. The impact of hormonal contraceptives on the risk for depression is controversial. Interactions with clozapine, anticonvulsants, and St. John’s Wort must be taken into account https://t.co/j5i6NVlUns

Review: RCTs of women with psychiatric disorders have generally reported similar or lower rates of mood symptoms in hormonal contraceptive users compared with nonusers. Although interactions are rare, clozapine and anticonvulsants are exceptions https://t.co/j5i6NVlUns
