DEEP DIVE: Could the contraceptive pill be affecting your mood?

Hack

About this episode

The pill is the most common form of contraception in Australia, and while the potential physical side effects are widely known, some experts say we're only just starting to talk about how it can affect mood.

Because while for many people the pill can be a safe and effective form of contraception, others say it's had a significant impact on their mental health.

In this week's Deep Dive, you'll hear from an expert about their research on mood changes and the pill, including who may be more susceptible.

Guest:

  • Jayashri Kulkarni, Professor of Psychiatry at Monash University
