I consider myself a success story. I'm diagnosed with major depression and "features of" PTSD, meaning I meet most, but not all the diagnostic criteria. Through hard work in therapy and the right meds I now enjoy life. I still struggle with symptoms some times. I don't believe I'll ever be "cured", but I am able to manage the symptoms. My pdoc and I talk about the progress I've made. He considers me one of his success stories too!
