A member asked:

What do you think, could having a history of minor depression stop you from being able to work with children?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: A history of mild depression should not adversely affect your ability to work with children. With a history of depression, it is important to be able to recognize the early signs of it shall it re-surface.. This way you will be able to get prompt treatment.
