Depression and birth control pill

Jakkie

So I just started the pill (Apri) a little over a week ago. My doctor told me about the major things to look out for, then I read the entire leaflet that came with the bc and made sure I knew all the possible side effects and such. Lastly I googled my exact pill and read everything and came across that if you have a history of depression, birth control can cause it to come back??

Anyone here on the pill with a history of depression?

I'm upset because after years of dealing with depression I finally beat it in the past year and I think its slowly creeping back now that I started the pill and its really upsetting to me so id love some opinions or experiences
