In this Bitesize episode, hear an excerpt from Dr Sarah E Hill’s interview with Angela about hormonal birth control and post-pubertal brain development

As the biological groundwork for the adult brain and body takes place during adolescence the introduction of synthetic hormonal birth control means that women who take hormonal birth control during adolescence have different brains than girls who don’t, listen in and hear more

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Brain development explodes during pubertal transition
• Post-pubertal brain changes are all coordinated by your sex hormones
• For millions of years, our bodies have had regular hormonal messages coordinating all the brain changes
• Hormonal messaging lays down the biological groundwork for our adult brain and body but it's interrupted and suppressed by synthetic hormonal birth control
• We don’t know how it's influencing the organisation of the brain
• The research seems to suggest that pill use during adolescence may increase your risk of depressive disorders across your lifetime
• Sex hormones play a really critical role in post-pubertal brain development

 

BEST MOMENTS

‘It’s important for women to understand that this is at least a possibility’

‘Who you are as a child and who you are as an adult are all post-pubertal brain changes’

‘How many of us were on hormonal birth control when we didn’t need to be?’
