ght on the secondary essay regarding challenges.

I'm in between two things and am not sure if they would be frowned upon. Coming to college my anxiety skyrocketed (particularly test anxiety) leading to roughly a 3.3 GPA until my 1st semester junior year. I didn't seek treatment for it until then, and it was from there on that my semester gpa shot up to 3.9. Could i write about this as a challenge (referring to it as a chronic illness so its not looked down upon) or should i let my advisor write it?

The alternative essay i was thinking of was writing about my difficulties overcoming another chronic illness i have. Thoughts? thanks in advance
 
I think both seem fine as long as the challenge has taught you something and helped you grow as a person. Seems like your anxiety taught you to be responsible and seek help.
