My best friend suffers from mild depression, from time to time, and doesn't currently take any medication for it at all. She's been married for over a decade now. She had the full support of her husband, and family, when they decided to have their first child. My poor friend went out of her mind with depression during pregnancy plus had post partum depression. It happened again when they had their second and final child. My friend has had a lot of support from family and friends, but I really can't imagine a person with severe depression being able to be as good a parent as every child deserves.
A child is a nonstop responsibility that lasts a lifetime.
