I've had two psychiatrists tell me that it can get better once you're old... like, 70+. One psych told me she's had many patients come off meds at that point and be stable.
I believe it levels out a bit once you reach your 50's. I've read it's the worst during adolescence, depending on when you started experiencing symptoms. Maybe around 13-25 I'd say would be the most severe.
