Need low-stress life: Schizophrenia is one of the most devastating, debilitating brain disorders. A person with schizophrenia should gather around available family members and make a long term plan for issues like: who takes care of what, what to do when things are ok, what to do when the patient decompensates (good and bad times can alternate), etc. Trying to become a physician would put on way too much mental stress.
