Definition:
Remission is the lessening or disappearance of the symptoms of an illness. Most frequently used in reference to cancer, the term remission is sometimes applied to bipolar disorder when mood is stable (neither manic/hypomanic nor depressive) and does not cycle. True remission (where no medications are used to stabilize the patient's moods) is rare in bipolar disorder.
