The message went on to say that sometimes mental illness is completely resolved (no symptoms) with medication, but the topic is considered taboo in most college circles. Do any of you have any experience with this?
I also wondered how many greek houses existed that could house a wheelchair-bound student as a resident. Let me know if your house can or can't.

I have suffered from depression and anxiety for many years now, but I am still a ZTA. It was never brought up during CROWN. I did however offer to tell my story for our quarterly magazine
Themis when they wrote about depression. As much as I want to say that it is no longer "taboo" to talk about it. That stigma is unfortunately still there. Luckily, I have had some WONDERFUL support from my sisters.
