And then she did very well for many years on lithium, and then eventually, she was taken off her lithium to see how she would do without it, and she had another psychosis, and then plunged into the worst depression that I had ever seen in which she sat in her parents' apartment, more or less catatonic, essentially without moving, day after day after day.
Durante muitos anos, teve ótimos resultados com lítio. Depois retiraram-lhe o lítio para ver como se saía sem ele, e ela teve outra psicose. Mergulhou na pior depressão que eu já vira. Ficava sentada no apartamento dos pais, mais ou menos catatónica, essencialmente sem se mover, dia após dia, após dia.
