I said something like that a few years ago to my T and he looked at me and said " are you kidding me "

Him and my Pdoc are both of the same thought " go a year with out a major mood shift and we might consider calling " remission"

I wasn't offended , they were both giving me there opinion based off our 6 years of working together.

I trust my T and Pdoc so that of course helps .

This was just my situation of course
