I am 61 and it is good to hear people with the illness older than me. Gives me hope. Somewhere I read is that as you get older you outgrow the illness. Is this correct?

I’ve heard (and seen) it gets a little less intense, with more of a turn towards negative symptoms. Every case is different, but I’ve also heard it referred to as a “40-year illness,” that is, you get it around 20, and it generally lessens starting around 60.
