I want to be a psychologist and plan on getting my doctorate degree (Psy.D)...but I read somewhere that you have to be approved or something? As in your mental health? What can prevent me from being able to be a psychologist? I love helping people and I don't think my problems should prevent me from doing that. Is there anything or any specific DX that can prevent someone from pursuing their career? I'm really worried about this!!! Please be honest!
