The HAM-D scores (mean ± SEM) among women using non-hormonal or no contraceptives (NC), estrogen-progestin combination-oral contraceptives (COC), and progestin-only contraceptives (POC) were compared. Data are expressed as percentages of values for women in the NC group. Women in the POC group scored significantly higher on HAM-D than women in the NC group (p < 0.004) or women in the COC group (p < 0.0004). There was no significant difference in the HAM-D score between NC and COC women (p = 0.42).
