Apologies, on mobile so sorry if the formatting is weird.

I’m in graduate school and I’m looking at having the opportunity to move abroad to conduct research for a year, and while this is a fantastic opportunity, I’m starting to think realistically about the difficulties my illness might lead to when it comes to moving abroad beyond just adjustment issues and general homesickness.

Has anyone done something similar? (Taught English abroad? Studied abroad? Did research abroad? Moved abroad?) What was the experience like? Were your medications available overseas? Did you ship them to your new home from your old place of residence? Did you have to find a new psychiatrist/therapist/etc? What was that like? Any advice? 

If it helps I will be moving from the US to a northern European country (Finland), and will not be staying longer than a year.
