[Psychic disturbances in women during oral contraception (author's transl)]

Methodically accurate psychiatric and psychological investigations have shown that psychological disorders in connection with oral contraception are more frequent than in generally known. The psychological changes in the sense of the endocrine psychosyndrome appear as fine disorders of mood, impulse and elemental urge. Not least, they have general mental hygienic significance, because in connection with them activity and spontaneity and also the ability to work are disturbed. From these psychobiological findings a qualitative differential sensitivity of the organism (as a reaction to different pharmacological substances) can be read. These results can initiate a comprehensive formulation of the psychosomatic personality theory.
