Hey guys! I am going to be doing a preceptorship for nursing school (when you work one on one with a nurse) and sometimes students get assigned overnight shifts. I get depressed quickly if I'm up all night and sleeping during the day, so I asked my psych for a doctor's note to basically say I can't work overnight shifts due to a medical condition. This note is going directly to the person who arranges preceptorships, rather than the disabilities office, so I don't want it to list bipolar disorder as the reason. Mostly because I don't want professors and staff knowing I have bipolar disorder.

The issue is my psych said she won't write a note saying I can't work overnights due to a medical condition, because she doesn't consider a mental health condition a medical condition. I find that ridiculous, but unfortunately that's how she feels. She asked me to tell her what I would be comfortable with her writing. So what would you guys ask her to write? Should I just say fuck what the preceptor lady thinks and say I can't work overnights due to a mental health condition? What else can I say?

Thanks!
