Sure. Things are bad right now. I have paranoid schizophrenia, no current meds work. But that doesn't mean future meds won't. Despite everything, my dream job has always been to be a psychatrist or a advanced psychatric nurse pracratioiner. (Almost the same, you can prescribe class 3 and below, some states allow private practice but others you work with a MD). I really want to do it but is that even allowed? Can you be a doctor if you've been hospitalized? I feel like I would be a good doctor because I have lots of empathy, understanding, I'm really nice and caring and I want to help people. I know things aren't good right now, but if I can work things out through therapy and improve my life, do you think it would be okay for me to peruse my dream of being a psychiatrist or psych NP?
