You're starting down a new path of life. And we are always here to support you.

Sorry but that's what healthy ppl can say and I must say I find it a bit offensive- a true depression won't just magically disappear when you don't have time for it (i.e. have kids). It's a real disease and needs a proper treatment. Ppl with kids still can be depressed- like my mother- she loves us dearly, it's a great mother but somedays she is stricken with depression and can't get out of bed.
