I've been suffering with depression/anxiety since I was 13. It has really affected my grades in college. My freshman year I failed 3 classes and was on academic probation, but I turned it around sophomore year and my GPA started rising. My depression peaked 2 years ago when my 18 year old niece overdosed on methadone. That semester my GPA was just about down to where it was freshman year. I've been steadily trying to boost it back up and seeking help for my depression. My question is, should I mention this during the interview? My niece and everything? I know there's such a stigma about mental health and I don't want it to seem like I want them to pity me, but there's an obvious jump from when I started turning things around sophomore year to when my niece died, to now. It's a big reason why my grades are the way that they are. Do you think that they will feel like i'll be biased toward methadone users or something when I become a pharmacist?
