Abstract :
The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between the use of steroid contraceptive pills and the development of depression and anxiety in women and girls. A descriptive-correlational design was used in this research. The statistical population of the research included 110 women and girls of Tehran city in 1403, who were selected in an accessible way. For this purpose, the scale of depression, anxiety, stress (Lavibond and Lavibond, 1995) was used. Data analysis was done using Pearson's correlation coefficient, descriptive (mean and standard deviation) and inferential (Pearson's correlation coefficient) using SPSS26 software. The results of this research showed that there is a significant positive relationship between the use of contraceptive pills and the occurrence of 3 psychological variables: anxiety r=0.461, P<0.01, depression r=0.817, P<0.01 and stress P<0.01, r=0.782. And it became significant, this means that with the use of contraceptive pills, the level of depression and anxiety increases. These results have been confirmed at a significant level at the p<0.01 level, which indicates the importance and strength of the relationship between the variables. These findings can help counselors and doctors to provide more accurate information about the side effects of these drugs to their patients and, if needed, suggest appropriate solutions to reduce these effects. Conclusion: Based on the findings, it is concluded that as a result of taking contraceptive pills, women are exposed to psychiatric side effects of these types of pills. That the 3 variables of depression, anxiety and stress are at a medium and higher level, which is a worrying statistic. Various methods can be used to reduce and treat these psychiatric complications, including: counseling and psychotherapy, lifestyle changes, and contraceptive drugs.
