I'm curious of a connection that has yet to be made but I notice in a lot of stories after I do some digging.

How many of you had "psycho" or "unstable" exes that were also on hormonal birth control?

Did you know that birth control can cause psychosis and other bad mental health related behaviors?

There is roughly 26% of women on the pill alone.

"there is a subset of people for whom birth control can exacerbate existing mental health issues or manifest new psychiatric symptoms. For some, synthetic hormones increase thyroid and sex hormone binding proteins which then lower the free hormones in a woman’s body responsible for important jobs like mood stabilization."

This ended up being a years long mystery for myself and my partner that I think other men should be aware of, especially if you've known your woman for a long time and know she's not acting like herself.

Don't be so quick to punish her until you know exactly what's going on. Sometimes even the doctors don't figure it out right away. Causing someone additional pain because of a medical emergency hiding in plain sight can cause and exacerbate so many more unnecessary issues.

There are many factors to consider in a person's behaviors, not just the actions you're seeing on the surface.
