Before I ask this question I would just like to clarify that I am not trying to upset anyone, these a questions I am genuinely interested in knowing the answer to. I do not judge here, the choice to have children is your own and in no way am I implying that anyone is bad parent. As someone mentioned there are worse things to live with than mental illness.

How do you cope with children when you are on medications? Some side effects hinder people worse than alcohol does, are you suitable to be a caretaker at these times?
What about those with anxiety? Are you (unintentionally) teaching your children anxious behaviours? Is there a cycle of mental illness in families caused by environmental factors?
