A member asked:
Can it be that a person with bipolar & chronic depression be a danger to her son?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rare, but possible. : Most people with various types of mental conditions are not a danger to their children. However sometimes having theses conditions can divert a person from caring for his or her young children. In rare situations a person can have impulses to hurt someone, even a child. A person with these conditions should be in treatment and should discuss any feelings about any potential danger.
