I also suffered from mild depression and have always had periodic (at least once a week) sleeping problems. I learned that I could still do what I needed to do without much sleep (though we perform better with more). When things were going well, my depression lifted. Earning my degree created opportunities for me and gave me something to feel proud of---both of these things helped enormously with depression!

And where did you study? Did you study while still living in your parents' house? Far away? And what were your reasons for leaving if you studied away? Did it help?
The pros and cons are:
Nearby: Has mandatory courses from an arts branch (psychology, literature, history, etc...) and you can choose the majors to pick from. It can expand my mind beyond Math and Statistics for instance, get me a bit into the art way of life. It's also close to a settled villa - my parents' house. I can perhaps grow my art for drawing and hopefully some music, too. It's familiar. I can also used my saved money for other purposes if I still live at home, though currently I honestly have no plans of great usages other than renting an apartment.
The other disadvantage is, the major one, is my city is solitary. I may still be here, but I am worried academy time will pass and that I may not be able to fully grow as intended.
Far: A feeling of needing to go there for self-growth. Academically, I don't really care where I study. The far away university is better regarding professions. But I only got accepted for Math alone right now. I
may be able to expand the major if my grades are really well.
So the primary concern is self-growth and breaking of boundaries.
