^Actually I think you are wrong. Most universities can and will ask for a letter from your doctor, it doesn't have to be too specific,which allows for some confidentiality, but whilst ucas itself wont ask for proof universities do. After all if they didn't people would probably try and abuse the system to get deadline extentions and longer exam periods. And it doesn't go against patient confidentiality if you allow the doctor to share information with them which is what happens. You have the right to not disclose the information but that means missing out on the support.
However its also worth mentioning that all universities have counselling services and these are open to people with or without a diagnosed mental health issue.
