[quote=Anonymous]This was me and, spoiler alert, I’m a doctor now who completed undergraduate, a masters program, medical school, and residency. I was sleeping through classes and couldn’t function because of ADHD and depression and anxiety. I “failed” out, but we were able to work with the university that I could come back after receiving mental health treatment and showing that I was taking classes (I took a couple at a community college). One thing to caution - please don’t put a crazy amount to pressure or shame on your child. My parents did and I had such a hard time getting back on my feet. When I was ready to launch again, they were very reluctant to let me go. In fact, they told me I couldn't. I went (and so happy I did) but our relationship has never been the same. [/quote]
