Depression, UCAS form?

Hello

I'm 17, and I'm applying for university

Everything's done, I just need to decide whether I should indicate that I have depression

I'm not on medication, and although it's been difficult, I don't think it has affected my exams/results too much...

I just don't know, I'm really upset because of this, because if I don't tell them then I feel like a fraud, but if I do put it down and don't get a place I'll always wonder

I'm also not receiving help of any kind at all, does that make a difference??

Does anybody have experience with this?

Thank you

    I don't think its right to put it on your ucas form.... i understand that they shouldnt discriminate you.... but dont forget u are selling yourself to them about "how your an amazing student compared to others" in your personal statement... i don't now if your depression would give you a negative image. On the other hand, it could also mean that universities can understand if ur grades dont go well.... iv been through depression and telling my uni about it helped because i was given a lot of help during examination periods, but that was while i was in uni.

    soemthing you can do is talk to your teacher who is going to write your reference....ask them.

    soem advice about depression: if its really bad see a doctor they would help you by either giving u medication or counselling.

    Put it in your form. Universities have a policy of no discrimination so they shouldn't hold it against you. If your college knows about this, it's likely they'll put it on your personal statement and tell them it doesn't affect your academic life much, etc.

    I'm in a similar situation, only with more severe depression/ suicidal/ eating problems, I haven't put it on my form. I wouldn't recommend you do either.

    I am not familiar with this UCAS form, however, regarding your medical and mental health history....unless it states that you MUST disclosure medical problems for which you've sought doctor's help, there is no reason to include it.
