    It's funny how a corrupt neo liberal s**thole run by gombeens and formerly run by paedo priests.

    I hope you have moved abroad never to return as you certainly wont help anyone spewing bile like above.

    I imagine you would have a doctors note and be very carefull around food in future. I think the issue with depression is that it can be used as an excuse and is dependant on the person being honest.

    You can also get a doctor's note for mental health issues... I've done it

    Im mean if you cant make a registration deadline how are you going to meet course deadlines?

    I'm fairly sure you can get extended/flexible deadlines in college if you're suffering from a mental illness that would make it difficult for you to finish assignments on time.

    You can, my sister suffers with depression and had an extended deadline for all assignments including her thesis

    I suppose, point was, if they clear you, the work place doesn't question it.

    Here they do.

    Ah, I see. There are still exceptions.

    Common enough phrase where I come from, probably used more in country areas and by the older generations.

    Only used by people 70+ where I'm from. Basically an awful "euphemism". Anyone under 70 who uses it would want to cop themselves on.

    Have you ever tried ringing in sick to work saying you need a mental health day?

    Have you used any stress management techniques such as media of yoga?

    How far do you think we have come as a society in regards to mental health awareness and acceptance of mental illness as no different to physical problems? are we where we should be? Have we done enough to conquer the stigma?

    Funny I just had a conversation with a fairly smart guy about mental illness in the past few days. We discussed a particular situation and he agreed fully with the course of action taken. Which was determined entirely by stigma!

    So I would say we haven't come nearly as far as we think we have, once the chips are down.
