Get Off Pills To Start Family, Very Depressed, Crying All Time. Solution?
My daughter has been on the pill for 15 years, she has decided to get off the pill to start a family. Something is medically wrong with her now. Since she got off the pill she is terrible depressed, can't think straight and cries all the time. Her OB Doctor has ignored her pleas for help. Her sweet husband is so concerned. This is a 35 year old women who has never had signs of depression in her whole life and never cries! She is deparately trying to get help and she can't even get it together to ask for help. Where can she go for help? From her mom who lives across the continent and can't be there for her. Please any advise.

Hello,
Many women complain of getting depression after stopping their birth control pills.It is not something very unusual.Since your daughter is having severe symptoms,you must consult a psychiatrist and get her counselled.
Cognitive behaviour therapy is very good and effective.
Anti depressants for few weeks shall help your daughter in coming out of it.
Thanks
