Abstract
A cohort study based on national data in Denmark has found a dose-dependent association between use of levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine systems (LNG-IUSs) for contraception and risk of incident depression. The study's investigators pointed out that the 1-year absolute risks of depression in users of LNG-IUSs were relatively small. Study results were published online July 10, 2024 in the American Journal of Psychiatry.
