I have to say I don't have the best grades ever, I have recently came to find out I have been dealing with either adhd or depression since my teens (at least). I went to my school counseling center and I was treated with depression [they are very limited on what they can do with adhd because of students abusing adhd medication]. During the period I was on depression meds, I did do well in classes, however I have since came off the medication. I do plan on seeing a counselor/psychiatrist soon to continue some kind of treatment, however I was wondering if I should mention my untreated depression/adhd in my personal statement.
I don't want to seem like im blaming that for my bad grades, but it did affect them. Will schools look at it as an excuse? Can I mention that it's something that I have not taken lightly and am looking to take control of, because I know I can do better?
Any advice would be appreciated!
