The mental disorder of the mother would have no direct bearing on who would receive custody of the child. It would just be one of many components taken into account by the judge or Depart of Children and Families when determination is made. Because "mental disorder" can be used to describe everything from someone who is profoundly retarded and unable to take care of themselves, to someone with recurring depression or anxiety attacks, it doesn't necessarily delineate who is and who isn't capable of raising a child. Things like source of income, guaranteed housing, access to education, and other community supports can play just as big if not a bigger role in determining custody of a child, as wel as past history with the particular child/children.
