My doctor also said nothing about depression when she prescribed Yasmin as my birth control. Since she directs Women's Services for my entire (large) university, I called her today to tell her that I'd gone off the Yasmin and that she should let other girls know about the possible danger of depression with the medication. She hadn't heard of it before--I agree that it's very important that this information be disseminated, especially since a lot of depression begins in early adulthood and this could worsen it in women and make things even more unbearable. And for people who are not depressed, like me, it can very quickly create problems. So we should make sure that we relay this back to our doctors so that they can help other women with similar problems.
Take care,
Rachel
