I think it depends.

This is just my opinion.

As we progress through life we are faced with more obstacles and hurdles that we need to navigate through. Some can be really challenging and if stress is one of your triggers this can play a contributing role.

It also depends on therapy. We need to be properly equipped with coping mechanisms for when we go through episodes. If we don't have this it can tend to get worse.

I also think that med adherence is a must. Going on and off medication can swing our moods much higher or lower when they come to force.

So it doesn't mean these symptoms will magically vanish because I think the ups and downs are there for life. But we need a good support team and we also need to be on the right medication, which can take a while to find.

Be well.
