Children can be a new source of happiness. If you want to have one don't hesitate. But here's tihe thing, if you're not sure you can deal with them properly wait till you can. Don't take that decision unless you're certain you can handle it, but depression doesn't really affect it.

No not at all. If you are asking this, you must have a desire to have children. If you do then that is a good reason to have them, and has already demonstrated you will love them! My mother has depression, and she is a great mother, and often says me and my brother give her purpose, and give her the strength to carry on, to have a happy life.

No not at all. You can have kids and kids can often light up your world and help you. Depression can come and go. And kids can really help you to cope.

You need to understand your circumstances, seek help, don't make decision when you're upset, because you could regret it ..

Not irresponsible, but it's definitely a personal choice. Make sure to discuss it thoroughly and to take care of yourself so that you can take care of your kids.

Not unless you're so depressed that you can't take care of them. You might want to have some plans in place for if you get worse, though.

No, it's not. Lots of people get postpartum depression after they give birth. Depression can be helped.
