In reply to What constitutes remission?, posted by brynb on July 18, 2012, at 18:55:22
Unfortunately, it isn't always black and white. I've had many partial remissions. I'd also say if you are still having some notable symptoms it is too early to call it a remission. Lethargic and irritable are pretty key symptoms of depression. In fact, to diagnose depression, you only need depressed mood OR irritability. You can be depressed without depressed mood!
That said, I don't think you need to be 100% well to carry on with your life. Is it possible to go back PT and if it is too much, back off again?
Best,
