Getting into medical school with mental disability

[Danny Archer]

It appears that the issue of medical school and mental illness has been discussed on this forum in the past, but what is the stance on mental disability in the medical community as it pertains to prospective doctors? I am not talking about certain conditions like ADD that are treated with prescription meds. What I mean is, is there any chance that someone who is at least mildly ******ed would stand a chance of gaining acceptance and completing a typical medical school curriculum if they had a compelling backstory? Seeing how many medical schools now seem to have special services for students with learning disabilities, I don't think this question is as absurd as it may have seemed in the past.

Wow. As a physician with ADHD, I'm offended by this post. And it's not easy to offend me. Bravo?

"Mildly ******ed" is not a medical diagnosis.

Did they even have computers back in "your day?".......... Seriously though, this is not a post intended to evoke emotional reactions. It really appears that an honest discussion of this topic has yet to have been carried out.

You must be pre PA or something and enjoy pissing us pre meds off.

So based on these responses, I take it that ******s can still go to medical school?

I admit that whole first thread was low quality bait. I sort of overdid that one a bit and got greedy with the narrative, lol.

This could still be a good thread though if given a chance
