When I went back to college in the United States, after being away for 26 years, I was now dealing with depression, anxiety, & a number of other problems. I am actually on disability for my depression because it has been so bad in the past that I couldn't even function.

I looked into the "Disabled Student Services", & guess what, they provided support for those of us who deal with these problems. All you have to do is provide them with the diagnosis from your Psychiatrist/Psychologist, or Dr. They review it & come up with a plan that gives you a chance to succeed even with your disability.

It offers things like being able to record lectures & the instructor must agree; taking more than the given time for an exam; & being able to take it in a quite place so you can concentrate.

If your disability flares up & you become sick, it is documented so the instructor knows that you are not just faking it. It DOESN'T give you the right to disrupt the class or other inexcusible things, but I found that the pressure was definitely decreased.

It was much easier for me to accomplish my goal of maintaining a 4.0 GPA when going back to college after previously getting my BS.

Something to consider for all you college/university students,
