Depressed enough, I imagine.

Then I'll think in those terms for the both of us. This is not Pollyanna wishful thinking. Even in my most desperate of days, I always thought in terms of remission. Partial responses were helpful, but far from unacceptable for me. I still could not read, learn, remember, nor go to school or work. I did not get out and socialize. I was barely able to keep my apartment. Partial responses did not make life worth living. They just took away the pain.

But this is exactly the point I'm trying to make. I have never seen a persistent, robust improvement produced by a DA agonist.
