We’ll be discussing hormonal birth control and how it impacts our mental health, amongst many other aspects of our health. For example, for women who suffer from severe premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), a fairly substantial body of research has now found that hormonal birth control keeps these women’s levels of hormones really stable and constant across the cycle. Sarah Hill is a leading researcher in the dynamic and rapidly expanding field of evolutionary psychology and the author of This Is Your Brain on Birth Control. A lot of research indicates that, for some women, hormonal birth control pills can increase the risk of depression and anxiety, but in other women, evidence shows that it can have the exact opposite effect and can be very therapeutic in terms of mood stabilization. But at a sort of biochemical level, birth control pills can also have some really positive effects on women’s moods in particular. Hormonal birth control and just birth control in general is obviously very good for a woman’s ability to plan, make goals, and feel confident that she will be able to achieve those goals. ![]() ![]() ![]() Now, I’m still a total “newb” (noob?) to this genre, □ but it seems that every m/m book I’ve read so far, I’ve loved!

In most cases, the names of historians and the titles of their works figure prominently in discussions devoted primarily to texts and/or their authors’ backgrounds, while the names of their publishers and other bibliographical details are either relegated to the footnotes or dispensed with altogether. Studies of Philippine historiography often trace the emergence of history books written by Filipinos-or, more simply, Filipino history books-to the influence of Spanish and American colonialism, and the rise of Filipino nationalism. ![]() ![]() ![]() Prince quoted liberally from LJA’s diaries, housed at the Merrill-Cazier Library at Utah State University in Logan, Utah.
