I've got problems with anxiety and depression and I am currently medicated for both. I've done well for quite a long time now. My husband and I would dearly love to have children together. I have recently seen a psychiatrist that pretty much scolded me for even considering to have children... I was hurt and shocked because I had never been treated like a handicapped person that shouldn't breed before. Are other people aware of this issue? If you are... what are your thoughts? Am I nuts for wanting children? Should I completely forget about it because of my problems? Any input of any opinion is welcome. (link)

No psychiatrist should ever make you feel that way! I think you should find a psychiatrist who will treat you like a person and not a disorder. You are not crazy for wanting kids. If your meds are working and you don't go off of them then have kids but if you think it is becoming to much make sure to take action right away because you don't want your kids to not have you in your life.
Also if you have kids make sure to keep a close eye on how they act. If you see signs in them get them to a doctor right away. I think you are a smart and responsible adult and you can handle it.
