Viral video on severe mood changes with birth control
Summary
With nearly 500,000 views since it was posted on December 17, 2025, this viral TikTok highlights several themes that frequently appear in online conversations about birth control. In the video, a man describes his girlfriend’s extreme reaction to contraception and uses her personal experience to make broad claims that birth control is “bad,” “fucks with your hormones,” and affects your “mind.” His blanket statements—such as saying birth control “is not something that a girl should be taking” and that it “is bad”—misrepresent the overall safety and efficacy of contraception. In reality, birth control is safe for most people and has been used by millions for decades. The video also demonstrates how contraception misinformation doesn’t only impact people assigned female at birth.
