Objective:
Aim: To select and analyse the scientific literature on the impact of contraception on women with depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder.
Patients And Methods:
Material and Methods: A detailed literature analysis was performed using PubMed, WebMD, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases. The articles and books included were written in English and published between 2011 and 2024. A literature review was conducted in the PubMed, WebMD, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar databases, analysing scientific articles in English from 2011 to 2024. Studies evaluating the relationship between contraceptive use and mental health conditions, including depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), were selected. The search combined the following keywords using appropriate Boolean operators (i.e., AND, OR): "contraception", "depression", "bipolar disorder", "schizophrenia", "premenstrual dysphoric disorder", and "mental health".
Conclusion:
Conclusions: The impact of hormonal contraception on mental health varies across conditions, making personalized contraceptive counselling essential. Further research is needed to fully understand these complex interactions and develop evidence-based guidelines.
