Evidence is presented that the incidence of depression among users of oral contraceptives is no higher than that among matched controls not taking such medication. There is an association between high depression scores and high neuroticism scores, more marked in controls than takers. Intensity of depression is related more to age, personality and occupation than to the use of oral contraceptives. A higher proportion of users than of controls experience sexual satisfaction. Past takers include a large number of individuals with a high neuroticism score. The incidence of depression symptoms in women increases with age. A higher proportion of housewives than of women going out to full-time work show depressive symptoms.
有证据表明，口服避孕药使用者中抑郁症的发病率并不高于未服用此类药物的匹配对照组。抑郁高分与神经质高分之间存在关联，在对照组中比使用者中更为明显。抑郁的严重程度与年龄、性格和职业的关系比与口服避孕药的使用关系更大。使用者中体验到性满足的比例高于对照组。过去的使用者包括大量神经质得分高的个体。女性抑郁症状的发病率随年龄增长而增加。家庭主妇中出现抑郁症状的比例高于全职工作女性。
