> Becoming a father should be able to help with that.
Gotta admit, on the first read I missed OP's announcement that he's about to become father already.
Just for the record, do not have a child as an attempt to escape depression :)

You might be temporarily applying lipstick to a pig which will gain you a bit of time, but it's not like it magically fixes any of the underlying issues.
If anything, it eventually loads far more stress onto you, making depression and burnout worse.
If you are the mother you're more likely to experience postpartum depression. Even fathers experience depression. I have had to work full time, do household chores on top of keeping the baby happy, who didn't sleep well at all at night and even now does not. You're going to miss deadlines, fail to meet expectations, do lousy job of your assignments. All of that will or will not affect you, physically and/or mentally.
