[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow. So I guess that since mentally ill people should not be left alone at all to care for young children, then ANY person w/a mental illness should never be in full charge of a young child. Including parents. There goes that logic. Out the window.[/quote] 1) Not all mental illnesses are the same. 2) A parent presumably has at least one other person (the other parent) observing them on a daily basis for more than a few minutes, and would recognize decompensation if it happened. 3) Many, many mentally ill parents, including a lot of women with PPD, absolutely should not be caring for children on their own, both for their own health and the safety of the children. This is where universally accessible, affordable, quality daycare could actually be a public health service. 4) Those of us raised by parents with a mental illness, including depression, bipolar, anxiety, etc., would tell you that even medicated, these are not benign syndromes.[/quote]
