I'm hoping it's episodic. I was fine for almost a year, without meds, after my first episode. Then, I became depressed again, started to come out of it, had a blow up at work, and sank back down. I'm starting to feel a lot better now, like I might be on the road to being OK again, but it may be the meds helping. Prognosis is for recovery with little or no maintenance medication.
