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

No, not at all. Depression is a mental illness that can be treated. Your kids may be the treatment you need, with their loving face. Knowing you have kids who look up to you, may make yourself happy as well.

Not at all, kids can help you feel happier as they have their own funny ways of annoying us. It is okay for you to go through a bad time and kids can help by making you feel happier through their cute ways

No, having kids bring joy and happiness into the world. It's will not be easy but you have the love of your kids who make you feel excited and grateful. Dealing with depression you don't want to move and having kids at the same time might be extremely challenging more than you can imagine. However, in time you start to feel the love and support of your children. Parenting is life lifetime commitment and with depression it makes it even harder and stressful but being a parent is also rewarding and having the love of your child makes you happy as a parent.

No, it is not irresponsible. Depression is no different from any physical issue. What is most important is that you love and care for your kids. Mental illness can come and go throughout our lives. Having depression does not mean that you are incapable of caring for others. What matters most is that you are able to take care of yourself and your children. Depression is manageable. There are treatments that allow people who have depression to manage their symptoms. People who have depression are capable of living fulfilling and productive lives. Any person with the right love and care and dedication can become an amazing parent.

I personally do not have depression, but I don't think it is irresponsible for you to have kids if you have depression. Your desire for children is valid and should be acknowledged, however if you have any concerns about bonding with your child or just the general fears that come with being a new parent, you may want to speak to licensed therapist. Our mental health is extremely important, and so are our desires. There is no manual that comes with being a new parent, but that also means there are no specific requirements either. You are not being irresponsible by expressing a desire to have children while having depression. In fact, you would be considered more responsible for asking a question like this and considering how it could affect your kids as well as yourself.
