I had no idea why I became so anxious and depressed shortly after starting to take birth control pills. I was so anxious that I could not
listen to loud noises (even the radio). I began to doubt my mental health! It was only after I stopped taking them that I began to feel better. I guess I was part of that small 16% who are adversely affected.
I wish that I had known that this was a possible side effect (this was many years ago when I first got married). It would have brought me a lot of comfort and I could have possibly explored an alternate method of birth control...... I didn't need to suffer.
