> I can't imagine his doctors taking the instruction to forget about it if it were either completing THEIR degree or being a "good patient"...So what's more important, losing one's mind over and over again, falling deeper into the rabbit hole, or getting some silly college degree? I know many people living very good lives without a college degree. This is one of many things wrong with our culture today. I am all for a good education, but let's get our priorities straight.
Also, your friend probably should not have been on those meds to begin with. I am sure, that with the right treatment, a little time, the right diet, proper exercise, a few supplements, and some hard hard work, your friend and be a productive force in the classroom again. They may not ever be the same, but they will be able to take care of business.
