(I stole the hread title from somone else but couldent find it.)
Hi I Was Diagnosed with GAD last year, I want to apply for a mental health nursing course next year but want to know wheather this would rule me out? far from a hinderence I think this would be of huge benefit to my understanding of the practise, however I fear red tape will get in the way. would I even have to disclose this and would some insitutions see this as a benefit rather then hinderence.
Thanks for your time

I don't know the answer to your question, maybe Beakie or someone will reply. However, I think your spelling might present a problem. If you are statemented as dyslexic, as an undergraduate you could get all manner of goodies: PC or laptop, scanner, minidisc recorder, extra time in exams. If you don't have a specific learning disorder then you would be well-advised to seek help from the adult basic education dept at your local tertiary college.

I think GAD refers to Generalised Anxiety Disorder, and – if so – then no it does not preclude you from entering into nurse training. The only restrictions it would impose are those inherent in the condition – eg – if you're reclusive, if you have anxiety attacks in large groups, etc.
It might be worth disuscussing any needs with your local uni staff when you enrol tho – depending on how your GAD effects your life.

Cheers person with the latin name that i won't even atempt to type.
No GAD is a strange thing . through persiveriance and CBT I am largely able to manage the condition, though many others struggle. perhaps diagnosis is to blame, but thats a whole other thread.
There is hint of irony to my need to ask the question though
