Would depression as result of poor circumstance make you barred. My mum has had terminal cancer since I was 12 and this has understandingly effected me, this and witnessing my grandmas death age 10 has left me obviously a bit sad and envious of other people. Today my head of faculty at college says she thinks I have depression, I completely disagree and know the main reason I'm annoyed and not always paying attention is due to me not being where I want to be. I hope that made sense, I don't want some misreading of my circumstances and attitude to result in a referral to GP. (Hope that made some sense) outside of college I'm happy but the entire dire routine leaves me frustrated! Sorry to hijack thread for my own gain.
Is your head of faculty a qualified Docter? No?
Well they can go outside and have a chat with themselves.
It just seems that college isn't sitting with you. I hated school, and I hated college. I just wanted to get stuck in and get cracking with things. But unfortunately education is a must.
Depression is a long term medical condition.
Sadness is not a medical condition.
Grief is not a medical condition.
Frustration is not a medical condition.
Boredom is not a medical condition.
"Depression" is a term that gets through around like some kind of label or as if it's some cure by saying it. I won't start a rant about the whole mental health issues and how it's dealt with by the NHS or people.
If you find talking to someone helps, then do it. But just because the thought of being stuck in a college all day doesn't excite you, doesn't mean that you are depressed.
