Wasn't really sure where to put this but here goes...

I've been having a really bad day today and my mum, who has been through depression, suggested it might be time to discuss anti-depressants with the doctor. I'm not too keen on the idea but would give it a go however I'm wondering how this might affect my career.
I'm studying for my degree at the moment and I've always wanted to do a postgrad afterwards to become a teacher but will my anxiety/depression affect me being able to a) get into a teaching course b) get a job if I qualify.

I've never really thought about this before because I don't like to plan too far ahead in case I don't live to see these plans carried out but I'm really freaked out by how much this might affect me if I ever get to be a teacher.
