Since most schizophrenic patients present during their mid to late twenties, it is very likely that someone could get an advanced degree before they even knew they were mentally ill. Also, no one can stop a mentally ill person from obtaining an advanced degree since that is discrimination. I had a schizophrenic girl in my med school class who dropped out second year during a psychotic break. They let her back in three or four years later. My class had graduated long before, so no one knew anything about her. She ended up doing a General Surgery residency. I've always wondered how she held up under that immense amount of stress!
