Question: Your patient is a 29 year old woman who is requesting combined hormonal contraception (CHC). She has a history of depression and has been taking a SSRI (citalopram) 40mg daily for the past 8 years. Her depression is well controlled but she is concerned that the CHC may worsen her depressive symptoms. What is your best response? She will need to get clearance from her mental health provider prior to beginning CHC Only contraception that just contains progesterone has been linked to depression so taking CHC will not affect her mental health The link between hormonal contraception and adverse mental health is not clear so she should monitor her depressive symptoms while on CHC and call with any changes. She should consider a non-hormonal method for contraception to decrease risks of poorer mental health. Need Assignment Help?
