Agree with @Lindagaf. Sadly, there is still a stigma surrounding mental illness. Did your depression/anxiety result from a specific incident, or is it more an ongoing thing? If the latter, an admissions officer might be worried (even subconsciously) about your ability to handle the stress of college.
