Yes, hormonal birth control can cause depression, hair loss, headaches, gut damage, and autoimmune disease. And, yes, experts have pretty much known that since the 1960s.
The book "In the Name of The Pill" opens with the question "What did they know, and when did they know it?" and it's a harrowing account of how medicine spent decades choosing to NOT SEE the hazards of contraceptive drugs.
Read the book at your own risk. You may end up feeling as devasted as I do since I read it. Medicine has not had women's best interests at heart.
Please share your story.
And if you need help having periods without hormonal birth control, check out my book Period Repair Manual.
