<p>@mmbear I originally sent in just a letter from my doctor explaining the situation but to establish a medical condition as, I suppose, disabling, or “legitimate,” it needs to meet certain criteria, system-wide. There are some specific guidelines for psychological conditions, so I printed out the following:</p>
<p>[Guidelines</a> for Documenting Psychological Disabilities](<a href=“http://www.specialservices.ucr.edu/disabilities/forms/Pages/guidelines_pd.aspx]Guidelines”>http://www.specialservices.ucr.edu/disabilities/forms/Pages/guidelines_pd.aspx)</p>
<p>and had my doctor answer the questions. The webpage is from UCR but the guidelines are the same across the UC system, it was just more difficult to find the UCSC page.</p>
