Original Note:
Most types of birth control don’t affect your weight. The risk of suicide is slightly increased, not tripled. Likewise, the risk of depression is increased from 1.7% to 2.2%, and not doubled. Medical advice should only be given by healthcare professionals. https://www.nationwidechildrens.org/specialties/bc4teens/resources/birth-control-myths https://www.ippf.org/blogs/myths-and-facts-about-contraceptive-pill https://www.plannedparenthood.org/blog/does-birth-control-make-you-gain-weight https://www.webmd.com/sex/birth-control/birth-control-pills-weight-gain https://www.aafp.org/pubs/afp/issues/2022/0100/p82.html https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/can-hormonal-birth-control-trigger-depression-201610172517 https://www.plannedparenthood.org/blog/can-birth-control-cause-depression
