Definitely not 'recovered functionally ’ though part of that may be due to the Asperger’s . I went for 'recovered symptomatically ’ as symptoms are very mild and not major .
Anyway it’s not a 100% recovery. What I mean is that I can cook simple things, I can go to supermarket or to the pharmacy. But I’m not able to work for example.
I put recovered symptomatically. I feel like I have had a huge hole blasted into my life. I ruminate a lot and am still not confident at talking to people. I think it might be related to the severity of my illness.
Generally no clinically significant positive symptoms, disorganized symptoms or negative symptoms for a given time period (usually months), and any psychotic symptom is significant. Meaning one hallucination or delusion would be enough to not meet the criteria.
I’m sure there are many less strict definitions as well. But these seem to be the most common ones to me.
I think I might not qualify as symptomatically recovered then based on possible negative symptoms ie emotionally flat , not a great deal of ambition/drive, fairly low motivation . It’s not major, but it’s there to some degree. Whether it would be called clinically significant I’m not sure.
I function well like a normal person almost. But I have severe symptoms of Anhedonia, depression, PTSD, Other side effects. I don’t know how I’m still living.
