Birth control question

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right board to post my question, but I recently started taking birth control pills for the first time, and am feeling more depressed lately. It might be a host of other factors, but I was wondering if anyone else experienced depression as a side effect? I looked online and it said it was a possible symptom, so I'm hoping it will go away? Thank you!

my depression got more severe when i was on birth control pills, i would talk to your doctor about it and they might need to switch pills.

Thank you, I'll do that. I had heard of birth control affecting moods but don't know how they differed. I'll have to check that out. I appreciate your response.
