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.
