Hey!
No, I've never taken any sort of psych class (or even a class that isn't in the faculty of natural sciences!) but I have got out of a fieldtrip due to 'health issues' ie panic attacks etc. Although I didn't tell the professor it was due to mental illhealth. I'm not sure how they would take it. Would their opinion of you be coloured forever? I don't know. At least in the US, there is much more of a culture of therapy, and stuff like that. Oh well.
Actually, I think in the natural sciences anyway, they sort of expect you to be slightly obsessive and geeky and socially inept. The arts faculty students always look so much cooler than us, boo hoo. We hang around in anoraks and sensible shoes and fleeces, although I did put on my glad rags today, being the first day of class an' all. Meh. Perhaps we have better employment chances.
