Thank you. I read both your posts here and I value the input very much. For reference, I am 24 years old, graduated undergrad last year, and have recently started a job as a behavior therapist. I work one-on-one in schools with (elementary) students who have disabilities. Essentially my job is to implement behavior modification strategies (not developed by me, but by my supervisor) with these children in order to help them be successful and included in a typical school setting. It's certainly challenging, but I am learning a lot from this experience and it feels valuable to me -- the children teach me a lot and I'm always trying to improve myself so that I may be more helpful for them. I've learned a lot about patience and recognizing progress in seemingly small accomplishments and to feel rewarded by those things.

I will definitely be looking more into neuroimmunology. Another user mentioned psychoneuroimmunology as well. Thanks again for your thoughts!
