> Duh is right. I mean, most clinical studies measure response as a 50% reduction of symptoms. Well, that means patients who do respond and are considered successful treatments are still 50% ill! Duh. And remission rates are in the 20% to 30% range. But even in those so called remission patients, there are often still some negative features that still linger.
