I believe i have depression, and worry that my child, who is in no danger from myself, will be taken from me if i seek help. how should i seek help?

A small worry: You and your child would be far better off if you got relief from depression. I doubt your child could be taken just because you seek professional help. When you can't fix it by yourself, it's a sign of wisdom and strength when you seek professional help. Don't put this off. If you sink into a deeper depression, you could become impaired. Don't delay treatment. You can do it!

Depressed mothers: Many mothers become depressed and need treatment -- and their children are not taken away. Please don't let these worries stop you from getting the help you need! see your physician, who may also refer you to a psychologist and/or a psychiatrist. Best wishes.
