Maybe. I was very depressed trying to earn a BS CSEE degree that took me 13 years (1997-2009). I started with severe depression, anxiety, and ADHD but didn't know it and went untreated for most of the time. I did it, but went bankrupt, became homeless, couldn't hold a job, and still have $9k in loans held by Betsy DeVos' Navient that will never go away. Not sure I'm a good anecdotal example. Got it done, but at the cost of switching temp jobs only to not be hired back because the lab moved cities and reorganized. On SSI disability and Medicare now (which took about 7 years and a lawyer to get), which sucks because I don't want to depend on them. :(
