I've had a lot of trouble with mental health (social anxiety and depression) since the age of 17, I'm now 22 and finally half way through my Uni degree. I was wondering if you had any advice for how I can explain how long it took me to get a degree to a future employer without them dismissing me as a risky hire?
I'm genuinely afraid they'll say 'you should've had a degree by 22, how can we trust your mental health problems won't return and affect your work?'
