But you can't be sure you will be allowed to practice medicine. The medical board will decide on an individual basis. For reference, texas medical board form for mental illness and self referral program: http://www.tmb.state.tx.us/dl/C5EAB589-0916-C88D-FF94-DE8D9623C5A4 http://www.tmb.state.tx.us/dl/C5EAB589-0916-C88D-FF94-DE8D96...

Help yourself before you help others (seek mental help if you need it).
