I was in class 9th when I found that someone very close to me was diagnosed with schizophrenia. At that time,I didn't know what it was about or how to handle the situation. I was very confused seeing that person behaving like that. My sister was in class 12th at that time. She had psychology as her subject and one day she was taught about disorders which she came home and told to me. I was very much intrigued by it. Also, I had to take care of my close one who was suffering from schizophrenia. I handled the situation quite well according to everyone. After seeing it, my sister said that it was something I can pursue in future. She felt that I had the capability.
I guess this is why I believe that it has been an experience I'll always remember. I got to know many important things which pushed me towards my interest in psychology.
having seen people struggle with mental health andthen being a part of this field, feels like a blessing:)
Hey, it's amazing how you handled a situation with the little knowledge you had. Imagine your performance with further education!!
All the best for your future

Hi Sani!
It was delightful to read your journey toward psychology. I admire how you handled the situation when you were in class 9th with the person who was going through schizophrenia.
All the best for your future!
