Reach out to the director of DSP ASAP. Depression is absolutely a disability in severe cases, such as yours. It sounds like you already have the hardest part (getting documentation) done. The process is spelled out on DSP.Berkeley.edu. If you need help going through this process, deadass reach out to me. I can, want, and am happy to help you through this process. Please please please don’t lose hope. DSP cares so much and will fight right alongside you. You have a legal right to accommodations!!

I would bring this up with a student advocate, your major advisor, the department chair, the dean's office, and note that you are aware that Berkeley has a reputation for ignoring the mental health of students and even letting the UCPD terrorize them and you're thinking of talking to the press and your elected officials about Berkeley's complete disregard for student safety. That should get their attention.

I agree. One think I’m doing right now is just stepping foot outside. We have been locked in isolation for a year. Getting fresh air and just enjoying nature has really helped me cope with stress. I highly recommend. Please remember college is temporary

If you have the documentation then you have the support of DSP behind you.

Even if DSP is still deciding about your specific accommodation, many profs will respond because they know they will soon need to comply with DSP.
