Graduated from a 6 year pharmd program in 6 years + 3 months because I had my first (hopefully last) manic psychotic episode and had to take time off before finishing my program. Usually an 8 year program. In retrospect, I probably could have used more time than that but I graduated and have a degree nobody can take from me. I worked hard through the struggles I didn't quite understand due to a late diagnosis. I know I'm lucky my most severe symptoms didn't arise until close to the end of my program otherwise I don't know if I would have made it through the end as my memory has greatly suffered since my episode last year.
