well, career wise the best decision would be to obviously continue with pursuing psychiatry. However, your mental health is really important; and the worst part is those conditions are out of your control. You're clearly smart enough to do degrees and such, and yes it is very stressful, but you seem to be quite enduring, so try to do a service for your future self. don't let conditions that are out of your control to affect your path. And whilst, yes, parents are really important, you should try to pursue your job, because then afterwards you'd be able to support your family financially yourself rather than rely on another person, and i know its really tough right now, so please have some faith in yourself, you could do it. dont doubt your decisions. we're all humans an we're fallible, so its natural to doubt yourself, but stick to your decision, take care of yourself, and talk things through if you can with your parents :)
