Ron,
I'm not sure "remission" is the right word when we're talking about treating mental illness. None of the drugs that I currently take or have previously taken for BP II or ADHD have been prescribed to me to cure my illnesses. I might be incorrect, but I'm pretty sure that medical science has not yet found a cure for mental illness. Unfortunately, there is so much we do not yet know about the working of the mind.
I take drugs to control the symptoms of mental illness, not to correct it.
