I went to an elite school. I had undiagnosed depression and ADHD and I almost failed out.

I don't think I needed more time on tests but I definitely needed medication and counseling. The counseling resources available at the time were not adequate and medication was difficult to get.

Same. I was on academic probation freshman year. Managed to recover and graduate. But I didn’t get diagnosed with ADHD/ASD until I was 38.

An "elite school" is not for everyone because everyone is different.

You did not need medication and counseling. What you needed was a regular public college.

Perhaps you should stick to galactic history, Janov.

Psychology doesn't seem your strong suit (unsurprising, given your origins and background).

oh dang you're right. I am throwing away my degree and my meds and canceling my therapy appointments right now and applying for regular public college.
