Is it possible to become a psychologist if you have a mental illness. I know the very obvious, of you having to work on the mental illness. But I mean, in terms of getting a doctorate, going to grad school,applying to become a licensed psychologist,etc.Is it possible? I have yet to meet or hear from anyone that they have a mental illness and are a psychologist. I also read someone say that chances are, because you're required to tell your workplace what you have before you work, they will discriminate against you if you have a mental illness. It makes me feel a little discouraged.

Sidenote; I'm talking about if you have a mental illness but you are functional, you are stable, neutral, you don't interfere with clients,etc. Not if your mental illness doesn't affect your state of being in work or with clients.
