A person can have episodes of depression and mania which may last for few months and once they are resolved the person may come back to normal level of functioning. The relapse may or may not occur in these disorders and it depends on many factors e.g. Compliance to treatment, stressful environment, previous level of functionality, family support etc. However if the person is able to function adequately despite few symptoms which may remain, the progress is considered to be good enough.
