I have asked about my daughter’s situation before, but wanted to ask a bit more after reading the thread about the student who left school due to depression. My daughter is still in high school. She missed almost the entire year trying to stabilize her bipolar and will be staying an extra year. She is an A student. My question is 2 fold. My daughter has decided not to apply to top colleges due to her medical situation. She would like to go into business, probably finance and would like a school in a warmer climate. Any suggestions?

Also, we have been told we will have to explain what happened to the missing year of high school. In this situation could we be more general and say she had a medical illness instead of saying she is bipolar?

Thanks for any help.
