Wellness Unmasked: The Mental Health Risks of Hormonal Birth Control in Teens

The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show

In this episode of Wellness Unmasked, Dr. Nicole Saphier takes a closer look at the mental health side effects of hormonal birth control—especially in teenage girls. She explains how these commonly prescribed contraceptives may increase the risk of depression and suicidal thoughts in young women, citing research and real-world data.

Dr. Saphier also discusses the role of the pharmaceutical industry in downplaying these risks through aggressive advertising and limited warning labels. This eye-opening conversation raises important questions about how hormonal contraceptives are prescribed and why we need greater awareness around their impact on teen mental health. Wellness Unmasked is part of the Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Podcast Network - new episodes debut every Tuesday & Friday.
