In reply to What Remission Looks Like, posted by bleauberry on March 9, 2018, at 14:39:43
Depressions can look very different, but remissions generally look the same. Remission is remission, regardless of how it is achieved. It is the how that is difficult to establish for each case.
While I appreciate your enthusiasm, I don't believe that it is productive to assert that what works for you will work for everyone else. Depression is a syndrome that is generated by heterogeneous etiologies.
I was in complete remission for the better part of a year while taking two medications. Then, my doctor at the time asked me to discontinue them. I relapsed after two months. By the time the same treatment was instituted, I was no longer responsive to it. I often wonder where I would be had I continued with the original treatment uninterrupted.
I'm glad that you feel better.
