During my freshman year of college, I spiraled into depression, my grades fell dramatically, and I was pretty much suicidal. I have improved since then and my GPAs are fine. I even got an A in the class I previously failed and got a recommendation letter. However, I do have more personal details on why I became so depressed. It pretty much set a tone for the whole year especially with how overwhelmed I was with everything. I'm wondering if I should put this into my personal statement or if I should tell the admissions officers when they ask why I did so badly my Freshman year. Please let me know, thank you.
