Maybe a silly question: how common is depression as a side effect of birth control pills?

I was prescribed a 3-month trial Loestrin 24 in October, to see if it would help with some breakthrough bleeding I had been having. When I ran out a couple of weeks ago, the severe depression that had been affecting me for the past 2 months lifted as if by magic within a couple of days. Of course, that wasn't the only thing going on in my life at the time, so maybe it's just a coincidence. I had been on a different pill (don't remember which) a few years ago with no side effects.
