I agree with the above. I don't think "recovery" or "recovered" should be confused with "cured".
Aside from ECT, which I have no experience with and have not read much about, I have serious doubts about someone with screwed up brain chemicals, like me, ever being off meds.

My highest goal is to have the right meds to keep me from the highs and lows that make me unable to cope with life. My best hope is to be able to cope with life in a moderate way and find joy and be able to experience happiness again.
