I would say that the symptoms may disappear or lessen in intensity, but recovery isn't the absence of symptoms; it's learning to live with them. Even so, everyone is different, and their recovery will be different.

Everyone is different, and recovery can take more or less time, depending on the individual case. Recovery is possible even if symptoms haven't completely disappeared. You can work, study, have a social life, travel, and live independently, even if symptoms haven't completely vanished.
