[quote=Anonymous]It is extremely individualized. Personally, I had psychiatric issues from a very young age, but it was related to a neurological disorder I had. Between getting the neurological disorder under control, getting on psychiatric medication, and being in therapy consistently for decades, I honestly think my mental health is way above average for my peer group. I'm doing well in a uniquely hostile professional environment and am really proud of that. I haven't had any significant symptoms since my early 20s. In my opinion (not a doctor or a psychologist, FWIW), the main issue is whether the person has insight (i.e. ability to recognize their own symptoms and know when things are bad). Lack of insight makes management the job of the spouse, which is a horrible position to be in. Someone with insight who keeps mental health a top priority has a much better prognosis. [/quote]
