I want to be a Shrink when im older, but i think i have a health disorder?

Question

I want to be a shrink but i think i have Paranoid Schizophrenia or some sort of other Paranoid personality disorder, will this affect my ambitions?

Answer 1

I think as long as you are getting along well with the proper treatment, medication and therapy, this should not get in the way of your future.  

If you find this is a problem, you probably could still work in the mental health field doing something.   I hope everything works out just the way you want.   Good Luck.
