First seen Apr 23, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how natural hormone changes during the menstrual cycle may make some teenage girls more irritable or depressed, and at risk for suicide. Researchers will give 50 girls aged 12-16 either a birth control pill that keeps hormones steady or a placebo for 8 weeks each. They will track daily symptoms and use brain scans to see how hormones affect mood and brain activity.
