Mental Health

Applying to College
1

<p>Do colleges consider your mental health when accepting or rejecting applications?</p>

<p>Do they have access to records of when you've been seeing psychiatrists/therapists/mental hospital, etc? </p>

<p>I've had depression, mood disorders, and identity dissociation problems before. The latter are mostly gone, but depression does kick in once in awhile. </p>

<p>Would it be a good idea to include these in essays/statements/letters of rec?</p>

<p>If they affected your grades but you are now improving and doing better, yes, it helps a lot.</p>

<p>And no, they don’t have access.</p>
