This is a longshot for people in or around higher ed in Japan. Is there a university anywhere here that is especially good at / focussed on supporting students being treated for #depression and/or #bipolar?
Conventional #university environments are just not that great.
Student has tried an online only program but did not get much value from it. Not a great match for them.
