Is it irresponsible for me to have kids because I have depression?

Children are walking happiness. They make you laugh, give you hugs, and can always tell when something was wrong. They should make your depression lighten if you have them.

I wouldn't say irresponsible. On the bright side if you have children they could really help lift you up, but the downside is as much as you love them it could make things worse. I would talk to your doctor!

i think so. It wouldnt be good for the kids and for you too. Get help before you become kids. Very imprtant, in my opinion.

It's only irresponsible if you feel that you cannot provide for them - if you are able to still look after the kids, give them emotional support and be stable around them - then go for it. However the stress of parenting can take an emotional and physical toll on you so be very careful about what you do.

You probably asked me this because you have an interest in becoming a parent but I can tell you this, its important that if you want to become a parent you're fit to become one. When you become a parent you have a huge responsibility of looking after your child and their needs that sometimes your needs never get put down high on the list so significantly if you think you're at a point in your life in which you think you'll be able to cope with having kids then go for it I congratulate you for taking a big step into wanting to become a parent - that's amazing but remember self care is important too so remember to take some time out to take care of your own needs and wants as well so that you are not left feeling worse. Feel free to consult your doctor about it or even a counsellor if you want to go into further discussion - I hope this helped you in some way and I wish you the best with your decision and in everything :)

Absolutely not! Many, many people with depression have children and raise those children to live healthy and happy lives. The idea that people with certain illnesses (both mental and physical) should not have or raise children is based on false logic. Depression doesn't inhibit you from caring for and loving your children. And if you feel as though your depression is keeping you from taking care of your kids the way you want or they deserve, there's nothing wrong with reaching out to friends or family members to help you out.

It all depends on how serve your deppression is if you are very depperesrd and can't even take care of your self then it can be seen as irresponsible,

Well it is better to work through the mental illness whether you have kids or not, especially if you have kids and are depressed. That becomes imperative for your well being and for them as well. So the irresponsible thing is not about the kids, rather not seeking help and management routes for the illness before you have them or even after you have had them.

Of course not. It may pose as an extra challenge, since you'll have to support your child in managing their own emotions while balancing yours, but it is your body and your life and your choices to have children. You deserve to follow your happiness. Reach out for support when you need it, but that child will be lucky to have someone as sensitive as you as their parent.
