I still get the odd bout of a mild depression but otherwise have been fairly stable for a couple of years... abilify works really well for me and we are just trying to find an antidepressant strong enough to control the remaining depressions. In reality, if this is as good as it gets, its good enough. Even normal people have bad days (and weeks). Usually when I feel bad there is a reason for it - its situational not completely irrational like before.
