School, Stress and Schizophrenia: My Education Journey

College and training have at all times been a vital a part of my life. I used to be tutorial from a younger age and at all times loved furthering my training and studying.

Nevertheless, this all grew to become extra difficult as I grew to become very ailing across the age of 13. I developed psychotic signs and was recognized with schizophrenia once I was 18.

I had handed my 11+ examination and joined a well-respected all-girl grammar faculty. It was a giant change, from a small native main faculty of about 120 to a secondary faculty of over 1,000. However, I tailored to the brand new challenges and actually loved the college expertise and the rising independence that got here with it.

Then issues began to go downhill. I grew to become extra introverted, my grades began to slide. I used to be requested to talk to the college counsellor. What I advised her involved her a lot that she referred me to Youngster and Adolescent Psychological Well being Companies (CAMHS) immediately.
