Recovery changes the frequency and duration of symptoms.
People who are recovering and experience symptom exacerbation may have a level of symptom intensity as bad as or even worse than previously experienced. As one recovers, the symptom frequency and duration appear to have been changed for the better. That is, symptoms interfere with functioning less often and for briefer periods of time.
More of one’s life is lived symptom-free. Symptom recurrence becomes less of a threat to one’s recovery, and return to previous function occurs more quickly after exacerbation.
