I'm thinking of applying to university for next year but I am not sure if I should mention my past history of depression. I did start another degree but never completed it, and so have to explain the gap between the end of high school in 2003 and now. I am not sure if I should simply say that I was employed in a supermarket (and then they might ask, 'Why, with your qualifications?') or if I should mention that I began a degree but never completed it due to my mental health problems. If I tell them about the depression, they might worry that it will happen with them too; or they might see it as a positive thing that I've overcome it. Has anyone been in a similar situation?
