Postpartum Hormonal Contraceptive Use and Risk of Depression
In this cohort study, HC initiation post partum was associated with an instantaneous increased risk of developing depression. The associated risk was higher the earlier it was initiated post partum, at least for COC. This finding raises the issue of whether the incidence of depression post partum is increased by routine HC initiation after childbirth.
