Dr. Sarah Hill on the dangerous psychological effects of birth control pills (1/7/20)
Dr. Sarah Hill’s new book “This Is Your Brain on Birth Control: The Surprising Science of Women, Hormones, and the Law of Unintended Consequences” shines a light on how hormonal birth control affects women in ways we are just now beginning to understand. By allowing women to control their fertility, the birth control pill has revolutionized women's lives. Women are going to college, graduating, and entering the workforce in greater numbers than ever before. There’s solid data to support that the birth control medication has a lot to do with this. But there's a lot more to the pill than meets the eye. Join us for a discussion of the personal costs women face by going on birth control with Dr. Sarah Hill in this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI.
