Yeah just hired a maid who swears microdosing cured her bipolar. Doesn't seem very cured from my observations.

Yeah, they think all the drugs they take on top of the doctors treatment is helping them.

There’s a famous twitch streamer that killed himself a few years back when the microdosing wasn’t helping him anymore. Dude was taking an ungodly amount of shrooms every day because he’d built up such a tolerance.

Some people can eliminate the disorder from their life so thoroughly they no longer have any symptoms. I know it's not something that psychiatrists are known to do, but if someone fails to meet the criteria for a dsm diagnosis, the doctor would have to conclude they no longer have the disorder.
