Yes it's the rule of thirds.. 

1/3 will completely recover no meds not treatment no further episodes..

1/3 might need meds and always have some symptoms

1/3 totally incapacitated not matter what


I bet the out come is better than that in so called third world countries though..

WARNING! 
When trying to withdraw from many psychiatric drugs, patients can develop serious and even
life-threatening emotional and physical reactions. In short, it is dangerous not only to
start taking psychiatric drugs but also can be hazardous to stop taking them. Therefore,
withdrawal from psychiatric drugs should be done under clinical supervision. Principles of
drug withdrawal are discussed in Your Drug May Be Your Problem: How and Why to Stop Taking
Psychiatric Medications.
information on Prozac and Prozac-like drugs can be found in Talking Back to Prozac by
Peter R. Breggin, M.D. and Ginger Ross Breggin. 

DSM IV is the fabrication upon which
psychiatry seeks acceptance by medicine
in general. Insiders know it is more
a political than scientific document. 
To its credit it says so
