Back when I was going through the OCL process, I avoided getting treatment for depression. It was depression related to the whole horrid situation, not clinical. I was desperately scared that it would be used against me, as my ex was grasping at everything to use against me.
I know I am not alone in this thinking, as I know 2 people right now that really should be talking to someone, and possibly medicated that are doing the exact same thing. One of them already suffers from depression, but has been proactively taking care of themself and doing quite well until now. But it is at the point where *I* believe this person needs help. Not anything involving hospitalization, just someone uninvolved to talk to.
So I would really appreciate some feedback on how OCL and the court look at depression during separation.
I am hoping I can reassure both of these people that their responsibility in taking care of their depression will be looked at as a positive thing, and not be held accountable for getting depressed about a bad situation.
