Anika,

Yes, the industry has an interest in promoting medicating versus wait and see in young patients, so more independent studies would be welcome to determine if kindling exists.

I thimk it can also depend on the level of stress but I do not know which way it goes. Say, an empty nester. Children are grown so there iis less stress. But there is also much less social interaction. Do those factors balance each other out or does one prevail?
