Could i become a therapist some day if i have an anxiety disorder?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Having an anxiety disorder would not preclude you from becoming a therapist. It may provide you with insight ; sensitivity regarding what / how patients feel. However, it is important to ensure that your symptoms are adequately controlled before you become involved in helping others.
