<p>Every time one has an episode it makes the condition worse; you dont fully come all the way back. It makes it way more difficult to treat with each episode. I saw this with my friend and is why it’s important to stay on the medication. For him it took a long time before they found the correct combination of drugs as well as the balance between them without huge side effects and it took a lot of work and time; a lot harder than if he just stayed on them the first place.
If you choose not to treat it now… it will almost certainly get worse overtime and it will be harder to treat later…which means that they may have to use more drugs or more dangerous drugs and your outcome wont be as good.</p>
