Currently still IP due to a manic episode.

Anywhoo, I was standing in the medication queue and met a person who has had only x2 episodes in the past 28 years. Only two!!
They said that the episodes were triggered by ceasing their meds. They believed that because they had been well for 16yrs and then 12yrs that they were cured. So they took themselves of all meds.
They said that they had finally “got it” - that remission was only possible when you kept at it with your meds.
