[quote=Anonymous]Our daughter struggled in their first year with anxiety and depression. She started strong, meeting lots of people and making friends but her anxiety kicked in hard. A radical increase in medication dosage exacerbated her issues. Friends left in droves. She lost weight she didn't have to lose. She was miserable. The only bright spot, and it was a big one, was academics. Medication was balanced out better by Thanksgiving but, no fault of the school, that early experience was very attached in her mind to the university she now wanted to leave. She decided to transfer. Put in applications in the spring and transferred the following fall. She is now a senior, and while anxiety is part of her makeup, she is really really happy. [/quote]
