A-level Subjects to study Psychology/Psychiatry

hi!
so for my A-levels right now I'm taking 4 subjects ( chemistry, math, psychology, and biology). in university i want to either go into medicine directly or study psychology depending on where i go. Right now I'm taking 4 subjects to keep my options open but I'm afraid that if I take 4 subjects would not be able to handle it. I'm considering dropping chemistry or math since they are may weaker subjects, however i think that would decrease the amount of unis I can apply to. I would also consider taking an EPQ as I already know what topic I would do it on. So basically i just want advice on if should drop a subject and take an EPQ or which subjects should i keep to keep most unis open to me.

I also forgot to mention that I've considered dropping psychology , but i like enjoy it a lot and have gotten advice basically telling me to keep the subjects that i enjoy because that's gonna be important for A-levels

To keep your options as wide as possible for medicine you need chemistry, biology and any other subject. By the sound of it you'd be best off dropping maths.
