Re: Remission rate for manic depression ?

Well, I know one individual who has a Bipolar 1 history - unmistakable - complete with a couple of hospital stays. This person's illness manifested itself during her first year in college. She stopped taking medication while still in college and has remained off of all medications for upwards of 15 years. No alternative remedies either.

She hit what seems to have been some seasonal depression a couple of times but was able to deal with it via a light box and exercise. That's it. No major difficulties. I honestly can't figure it out because her experience flies in the face of medical wisdom, kindling theories, etc., as well as the experiences of some of my other friends with mood disorders.
