Abstract summary 

This report presents a case study of a patient who experienced depression and panic disorder symptoms associated with the use of Implanon, a contraceptive implant. This is a rare case of related prevalence data. The purpose of this report is to explore the potential relationship between Implanon and the development of these psychiatric conditions. The findings suggest a possible link between Implanon and the onset or exacerbation of depression and panic disorder symptoms. Further research is warranted to investigate the underlying mechanisms and determine the prevalence of such adverse effects.
