I went to an elite school. I had undiagnosed depression and ADHD and I almost failed out.

I don't think I needed more time on tests but I definitely needed medication and counseling. The counseling resources available at the time were not adequate and medication was difficult to get.

Same. I was on academic probation freshman year. Managed to recover and graduate. But I didn’t get diagnosed with ADHD/ASD until I was 38.

An "elite school" is not for everyone because everyone is different.

You did not need medication and counseling. What you needed was a regular public college.

oh dang you're right. I am throwing away my degree and my meds and canceling my therapy appointments right now and applying for regular public college.

Perhaps you should stick to galactic history, Janov.

Psychology doesn't seem your strong suit (unsurprising, given your origins and background).
