Professor Explains How The Birth Control Pill Can "Nudge" Women Into Being Bisexual And Increase Likelihood Of Depression
The hormonal birth control pill is handed out to teenagers like candy these days, sometimes just for bad acne or painful cramps. But more and more women are learning the dangerous side effects of hormonal contraception, such as how it changes your sexual preference and can even increase the likelihood for depression and anxiety.
According to the CDC, roughly 14% of women between the ages of 15 and 49 are taking the birth control pill. It's becoming all too common to see teenagers being administered the pill just because they're struggling with difficult or painful periods, without any attempt to treat it holistically. We're becoming more and more aware of the side effects that can come from the pill, such as impairing lean muscle growth, increasing stress levels, and struggling to get pregnant later in life. On the podcast Modern Wisdom, Sarah Hill, PhD, a psychologist and professor at TCU, spoke about the many effects that the hormonal birth control bill has had on women. You might be surprised to find that it can even alter women's sexual preferences.
