I think that a patient is the one who defines
what success ends up being.
When they feel that they've gotten everything
that they need from treatment, and that's where
medications don't necessarily achieve everything.
Certainly can bring the symptoms down,
can improve a person's quality of life and functionality,
but even after you do that, that still doesn't mean
the person is able to live
the life that they want to live.
And that's where I think it's very important
for us to recognize the limitations of medications,
and also to be using therapy where it's appropriate.
And it may be types of therapy or other interventions
that focus on quality of life, positive psychology,
such as developing a sense of meaning or a sense of purpose.
Those may be the sort of things that patients
are actually looking for, and we have not
completed treatment until they reach that point.
