Hi what are you studying in school/college?

School and Work

That is a stressful field. What would you specialize after the graduation?

22

Thatā€™s if I can even graduate! I was doing very well b4 my illness but now I have lost hope! If I can actually graduate I would like to specialise in psychiatry to help others suffering from mental illness!but thatā€™s a big if. Currently my mind changes from I can do this, I have just 1 year left to graduate but then my mind tells me I canā€™t do it!i should just change to a less stressful course like physiology! My psychiatrist says even if I change course I will still be confronting the same problems so I should try and cope with medicine

I think you should stay with medicine. You are almost done. Have you thought about doing brain training games or taking supplements?

Thatā€™s true! I really want to help others, itā€™s what I have always enjoyed doing

Well sarcosine and NAC. Theyā€™re pinned on top. Also l theanine and pregnenolone. Iā€™m taking them. Thereā€™s also racetams and choline to increase intelligence and memory but I donā€™t know if they are safe. Then thereā€™s also huperzine and vinpocetine. I take those. I think the biggest impact on my memory and intelligence besides the illness is being over medicated. Iā€™m currently on two antipsychotics. I told my doctor I have a bad memory and she is taking me off one. Good luck.

Psychiatrists in the USA make over $100k a year. You could live well and retire early. You could also help people. Having more money means you can have a higher quality of life and get better care. Itā€™s not all about the money but it helps. That should be some motivation.

You could also try Dual N- Back training to increase intelligence. I havenā€™t tried it yet. It seems hard, but donā€™t be so discouraged. Youā€™re already smart. Knowing 5 languages is something most people canā€™t do. You should be proud of yourself!

I was studying mathematics in 2011. I dropped out because of positive symptoms. Now I feel too stupid to go back and I lost my passion for mathematics. I think I can recover someday though.
