I was wondering if it is possible to get diagnosed with POIS by a doctor. The fact is that POIS sometimes really affects my performance at university, and so, I feel I must have an extension for my coursework when I need it.
However, I’ve already spoken about POIS with three different doctors (2 in Spain, and one in England) and every time I explain it they don’t seem to recognise it as an illness, they look at me puzzled and maybe thinking that POIS is some pseudoscience unscientific term which they don’t recognise—and that I’ve auto-diagnosed myself).
I still haven’t asked any of them if they would give me a diagnosis so that I can give it to my uni, and so that it can count as Mitigating Circumstances.
Maybe not everyone feels like they would require an extension for university work. I think this is something worth discussing.
And also, I fear, this gets more complicated with work, because most of the times work must get done, and that's it.
