Скачать или смотреть How I Hold a Job with Schizoaffective Disorder

In this video I talk about how I’ve successfully managed a career in a research lab for five years while living with the bipolar type of schizoaffective disorder. I share my personal experience and the 5 key factors that have helped me maintain long-term employment in a scientific field that I love. It's not just about my boss's opinion of me that keeps me employed, but also the things that my job has that make me want to stay.

I explain that my success stems from several important elements: having a flexible work environment that accommodates my needs, working with an understanding boss who knows about my condition, and being in a STEM field where I excel naturally. I also emphasize how fulfilling it is to contribute to scientific research, and how having supportive coworkers makes the workplace enjoyable and mostly stress-free.

What makes the content of this video particularly useful to know is how I’ve spent time working hard to find a balance that works for me - a job that pays well enough to live comfortably…without causing overwhelming stress. I’m careful to note that while this is my success story, everyone's journey with mental illness is different, and it's perfectly valid if others with severe mental health conditions (like schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or bipolar disorder) can't work. I try to show that I’m an example of how the right combination of workplace support, personal passion, and appropriate accommodations can help someone thrive professionally while managing a severe mental illness.
