Diane-35 is a pill that's prescribed first and foremost against acne. It can also serve to reduce PMS. It is also a contraceptive pill, but it's often not even considered as such by insurance companies as they will cover Ortho Tricyclen for e.g., but not Diane-35 because it is listed as a an acne med (at least it's been my experience). I tried it for a while for acne and PMS, but it made me somewhat depressed, so I switched to Ortho-Tricyclen which is better for my mood and OK for acne, although Diane-35 was definitely better for acne (adult acne). In the company info about Diane-35 it specifically says that depression can be a side effect, so I'd be careful with it.
