> 14 years? If it is depression anxiety or just thyroid. Don't know. Phillipa

Yes, unfortunately depression and anxiety disorders can last a really long time, because most often than not they are a biochemical imbalance. That means things can wax and wane, and sometimes they can be really high for a long time :(. But with the right combination of medication and some sort of psychological therapy hopefully, ones life experience can be made much better.

Schizophrenia, which is something that people worry intensively about rightfully, can last decades, and often wanes and reduces itself later in life.

I guess in the end its not waiting for the disorder to go away (I'm still caught in that, and its very depressing, but thats another story), its about accepting what one has and doing the best in life -- yes, mental illness has a stigma and it shouldn't and people have to work harder than the general population to make what can be a success.
