In my opinion, anything that's messing with my mental state is bad news. You need to get off this birth control immediately and have your gyno prescribe you something new if you've become severly depressed and believe your depression is a result of this new pill you're taking.

I've heard good things about yasmin, although I have never tried it myself. Talk to your ob-gyn and get on a new pill.
