Think I need AD's but am worried about the following

(Copied this from chat)
I've not been coping well with life and think that AD's might help me. I was on them before having DC and believe they made me better. It's worth a try anyway I suppose.

However, I'm still breastfeeding DC2 who is just 1 and have no plans to stop anytime soon. I know there are AD's that are meant to be breastfeeding friendly but are there actually any studies or data of any kind to back this up? I could never forgive myself for harming DC2.

Secondly, I'd like to do a nursing degree in a couple of years time. Would a recent history of mental illness and I suppose being on AD's would make that official harm my application in any way? Or my chances to later be employed by the NHS?

I know especially the second question is very specific but maybe some on here happens to know.

Firstly I took AD s through BF both my DC and they are fine. Happy mum=happy baby.

Secondly I don't know specifically but if it counts as a disability then reasonable adjustments should be made if possible AND my friend works as an employee counsellor for NHS and about 50% of staff seem to be on them Blush

Haha Queen, I should just fit right in then.

I wouldn't need any adjustments, I don't think I'm that bad. I'm just worried that this popping up in my medical history would disadvantage me in the future.
