Having a Baby is NOT A CURE for depression, not is it something to be considered as a Cure!
Depression can sometimes come and go and for many, last a lifetime.
I have three kids. It's Exhausting, at times.
((RIGHT NOW, he screaming, and yes. I am dealing with him AND writing on this...OMG OMG OMG, are You kidding me...ARGHHHHH....he is saying))
MOMMMMYYYY....MOMMMMMYYYY>...MOMMMMMYYYY..
and that's after 8 years straight of diaper duty..yeah, I had my kids, back to back, to back.
A CURE for Depression...I think not. I had my last kid at 31 years old. OK?!?
I'd say, work through your stuff, FIRST and then have a baby, when you feel that the desire to have a kid will cure your depression ends...
Best of Luck.

How right you are, in my view! There is always that unconditional love, though, that helps to make life full in meaning. That may be why parents are often suggesting that "I can't wait 'til you have children so you'll know how it is with parenting".
And all the while, those of us who are grandparents are relishing the joy of our grandchildren's presence while we entertain them and then send them back to their parents for discipline and all the other training required.
It all balances itself out in the long run for many of us.
