It has gotten better for me too, unmedicated mind you. Kindling is a theory, not a fact. And while it does look good on paper, it doesn't seem to take any other factors into account besides medication but there are so many othet factors.

I am pretty sypmtomless now, I still have a ton of stress that can make me dip here and there but I wouldn't call it depression, and I have learned how to bounce back quite quickly, seems pretty normal to me anyways.
