BTDT... nothing like having friends with florid manic-depressive episodes who can't or won't seek help since it may prevent them from keeping scholarships...
It did provide job experience, since I now deal with manic-depressives and various other issues professionally.
"When did you last OD and end up in the psych ward?" is one of the questions I now lead with when I talk to the one person who I still maintain contact with from my college days.
I just wish that I had a copy of the DSM-IV on hand when I was in college.
Now that I understand the broad range of psychiatric disorders, I would be much better equipped to have a meaningful college experience.
