 Ok, I get it Being diagnosed with mental illness especially schizophrenia or depression is not the best thing to happen in life. You have to do many things such as go to a psychiatrist, drink your meds regularly, and try to stabilize your emotions despite having to deal with voices and shadows that you often see.

There comes to the next question: Can people with Schizophrenia or depression succeed?

The answer is yes they can go check out these 5 people that succeeded even though they’ve been diagnosed with schizophrenia.

#1 JK Rowling



You heard me right? The famous author that brought Harry Potter was once diagnosed with depression. She seeks help from a doctor and finds writing as a part of her healing process then Harry Potter comes out.

# 2 Elyn Saks



Dean and professor at Southern  California University was diagnosed with schizophrenia. She struggled in psychiatric hospitals. Her illness then inspired her to make an institution called: the Institute for Mental Health, Law, Policy and Ethics that helps other people with mental illness.

# 3 Demi Lovato



The American singer who once starred at Camp Rock,  struggled with depression, including having suicidal thoughts. Her experience in mental illness inspired her to speak out about mental illness issues more.

# 4 Dr John  Nash 



Who knew that a mathematician is not Immune from mental Illness. Dr. John Nash was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. His experience with schizophrenia and mental illness inspired him to make a book called A Beautiful Mind that turned into a movie in 2001.

# 5 Abraham Lincoln



US 5th president was diagnosed with clinical depression. The depression became worse when there were several deaths in this lifetime including his own son. His experience inspired him to make the famous quote “I am not bound to win but I am bound to be true, I am not bound to succeed but I am bound to live up to what light I have”

So you see mental illnesses such as depression and schizophrenia are not an obstacle to success they’re just there to remind us that nothing can stop the light we have to give something to society.

  As you all know, I've recently begun a regular workout routine, starting with just 5 minutes of exercise each day. This is my update on how it's been going and the significant impact it has had on my mental health. For a long time, my doctor has advised me to exercise, but I have always found myself being lazy and putting it off. Exercise seemed like a daunting task, especially when struggling with the symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia. The idea of getting up and moving felt overwhelming, and I was skeptical about how much a simple workout could actually help. However, as time passed, I realized just how right my doctor was! Once I started working out, my mood improved significantly, and I felt much more stable. Remarkably, my symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia have diminished, even after my doctor reduced my nighttime medication from 400 to 300 milligrams. This reduction in medication was a milestone for me, and I believe that my commitment to physical activity played a cru...
