Panic Disorder and College/university?

Hi all!

I have been out of education since I took my GCSE's which was in 2010 I'm now 20yo with panic disorder and agoraphobia. I did a few courses at the Open University but it just wasn't for me.

I'm now thinking of going to Lincoln College but I'm worried about going with my PD and agoraphobia. I really want to get back into education and I really don't want my anxiety disorder to ruin that. Has anyone had any help with an anxiety disorder from their college/university? I've heard some people get disability support depending on how severe their anxiety disorder is.

Thanks everyone! :smile:

I have e-mailed them but I didn't get much help, they just sent me a brochure of the various different courses they offer with nothing about financial support or disability support.
