    Great video. I was very happy as an American study abroad student in Ghana but after coming back to US I came down with schizophrenic symptoms . Go figure that’s life!

    Schizophrenia is very real all the time and now it happens to so many students out there and it begins from High School and it continues all the way to the Tertiary education system.

    I know realize that many people who wear Lenses tend to have mental issues in their lives and situations.
    I dont have anger issues most of the time because I am most of the time laid back.
    The University is one place where these issues all the time since the late 2019s.

    As someone who doesnt have too many Friends this situation is all too real and I can relate to it.
    His trouble in getting into an Overseas School in Australia is why he went into Depression and Hence Schizophrenia.
    Moreover the Covid19 Outbreak made his situation more worse than ever.
