I started college in 2004 and completed a semester and half. I was really depressed and basically quit everything. About a year later I started up at a community college and did well and felt like I was ready to return to my four year institution. So in I started the spring semester of 2007 at this college. Well, I have had a child since my freshman year and I wasnt able to deal with all the stress. So one day on my way to school I attempted suicide. Since then I spent time in the hospital and have undergone lots of treatment. I am set to return to school in the Fall of 2008, and I am wondering if I would ever be accepted to a medical school if my next 3 years are uneventful. Also, is there anything that i could do to help so them that I am able and passionate about become a doctor?
At this point, the most important thing is to continue to get well, return to college when you are ready and focus on yourself, your child and your schoolwork. If you are able to do well, then I am certain that medical or other professional schools will consider your application despite your mental health history.
