Women oophorectomized due to a family history of cancer at age ≤ 45 years were more likely to use antidepressants after bilateral oophorectomy. The increased use of antidepressants was limited to women treated with HRT. The study calls for further large-scale studies to understand how bilateral oophorectomy and concomitant HRT affects risk of depression in women with a family history of cancer.
