When she starts feeling better, she must still take her medications! She has a chemical imbalance in her brain and can't be cured, but she can be in remission. Talk therapy is also important, although it can be spaced out so appointments are less frequent. A trusted therapist can recognize when symptoms worsen or improve and can discuss with her whether meds need to be reviewed or tweaked.
