I suffer from paranoid schizophrenia, I'm in a stable remission of more than 2 years. Is it possible for me to become a forensic technician/investigator? I currently study psychology and want to study criminology in the future.

Is it possible for someone with history of mental illness to be a forensic investigator?

Yes, you can definitely pursue a career in forensics. Your diagnosis doesn't automatically stop you from working in this field. Some roles may have specific medical requirements depending on the country, but there are many areas you can explore. Since you're already studying psychology, you have a good starting point. Just take care of your health, keep learning, and don't let your condition alone stop you from pursuing something you're interested in.
