Hi all,
I unfortunately have had 4 rejections for medicine, but by best friend has a place at BSMS and in a bid to be supportive I want to find out some info for her. I'll try to make if brief.
1. She was sectioned in 2010, no previous history of mental health issues at all or in her family. No idea why it was caused. No relapses or any issues at all since then.
2. Because the drs had no idea why it was caused, they put it down to 'stress from studying'
3. She hasn't disclosed any of this on her app (not been asked to) but knows she will have to get occupational health clearance.
Bottom line: is this going to be a huge red flag for her? Will it stop her studying medicine?
Any advice really appreciated, I know she has tried to chat to her GP about it any got nowhere.
