Who can I talk to in my college to take an F from my academic record due to mental illness?

you can definitely take it off the record.  similar thing happened to my friend who was under severe depression and flunked a class. but after talking to a counselor, he was able to drop the class for medical reasons.  first get a note from the doctors who can vouch that you had a sickness.  then take it to the administrative offices of your school and explain your situation.  i'm sure they can help you out.  good luck man.

I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you need to pay your account and get a transcript of the college you have already attended. You will be asked on your application to college what institutions you have already attended and you must answer honestly.\n\nIf you were to answer dishonestly, this behavior could become known at a future time if not now and cause you difficulty.

Have the doctor write on the note;\n\n"Please excuse (student) for medical reasons".\n\nIf he has any further questions, tell him it's personal and he cannot press you.

Don't stress out about it until you have seen a psychiatrist to be diagnosed properly. College is stressful in and of itself,without having this to worry about as well. \n\nLook at it this way. Would your parents be proud of you if you dropped out or flunked out of college because you didn't want to embarrass them over a mental health issue that CAN be resolved? I don't think so! Which would be more embarrassing? Facing the truth and living a happy healthy life;or burying your head in the sand and being miserable and unemployed because you didn't finish college because you were afraid of embarrassing your parents! This is your life. You are the adult now. You need to make the right decisions for you because they are going to affect the rest of your life,no one elses!\n\nYou are not alone with having bipolar. There are many people that deal with this illness. However it is treatable! Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it most. \n\nA psychiatrist will keep your information confidential,even if your parents are paying the insurance! You would probably then be put on meds or referred to a psychologist to identify what the underlying problems are. A good psychologist can treat anxiety/panic attacks just by teaching you techniques to help you understand about how to control it yourself. If you are diagnosed with bipolar,then you go from there. But please don't assume anything until you see someone.

--Depression can have a strong familial link, in which case seriously consider medication along with counseling.  Counseling can only do but so much when your brain chemicals are insisting on something different.    \n\n--Don't be at all surprised if other members of your family, besides you and your sister, have it too.  There's such a stigma about it, they may very well not want anyone else to know either--whether inside the family or out--and do what they can to cope.  Depression that is hidden and untreated is a path can lead to self-harm or harm of others (whether that's over-eating, binge drinking, bullying others and much, much worse).  \n\n--Do your depressions seem to relate to your periods at all?  If so, maybe your gyne or internist at your campus can help with medication and/or dietary suggestions to help.  \n\n--Where did you go for your college counseling?  Is there another mental health source available?  \n\n--Visit "About.com"--they have guides on various topics and I know there's a Depression site . They have articles that may point you in the direction you need to go.  Also, there's a forum where you can post with others struggling with the same issues.  They may also have more ideas about groups--on line or in the community that are low-cost or free.  They can certainly provide you with support that won't cost a thing.  \n\n--Try calling your campus' Psychology Dep't.  They may low cost referrals or students (if you're willing to try a student, perhaps a masters or a doctoral student) that can provide you with counseling and support.   \n\nGood luck.

Phone you local, usually a county, mental health office or phone a psychiatrist and ask her/him for a reference. I would think, however, that any board certified psychiatrist might be able to help you.

Talk to the advisor of your department at your school, they normally have a network of people that maybe they can recommend you to.

Speak to the Dean, and explain your situation. A letter would also help explain how serious the situation is. Make a payment agreement with the school and stick to it, honor your word. Schools are there to help not hinder.

You might be able to go through legal channels and the police?  You could also just come right out and ask the school but I'm sure that you may not trust that source.

Check with School Faculty or Counselor, they should be able to assist you!

You know you're taking one hell of a chance asking here, don't you?  i could claim to have a degree, and give you bad information.  Go to your local mental health place, or child advocates office, and find a real social worker that would be willing to give you some time.

I suggest talking to an undergrad advisor if you are still working on your GEs.  If you are doing your major program, speak to your major advisor to get you help.\n\nIf you have a lot of "Fs" on your record, consider academic forgiveness, an option for all college students.  This will give you a chance to exponge all the Fs on your record, you need to check with your university for details, including an academic advisor if it is worthwhile.  WARNING: Most universities will only grant this ONCE.
