The number of registered users tells nothing about how they later evolve with time. There are somewhat like 100 total max 200 people around who ever posted a thing. We cannot talk probabilities and if we do then if for the number of people who ever posted there are 50 recovered? Thats not that bad. Main point is lets not project and generalize everything on everybody and the whole syndrome and how its gonna evolve for someone else. Probabilities cannot be applied just like that, be it natural recoveries or time improvements, it could be Yes or No that we cannot predict for someone else and give probabilities

Mesolimbo sees it the same as me as well. And there are many recoveries and improvmenets to support this - natural as well as with intervention. Active people posting are mostly a collection that remains with persistent symptoms, those who got a lot better or recovered are mostly not active - its not unique behavior to PSSD. People want to forget and get on with their lives.

Not true at all, don’t scare the poor guy. A lot of people improve to some extent over time, but I will admit that to get a full 100% recovery you will need to take something, a natural full recovery is unlikely.
Mmmm. I am in a groupsapp with people ranging over all the years. 13 years, 6 years, 2 years. The biggest part did not improve with time, with some rare exceptions. I have to say, most improvement is made in the first months, after that, it's mostly steady going (for the most). The thing is, we are dealing with an altered homeostasis here. Why would there be improvement with time? The body thinks we are doing just fine within this new homeostasis and sees no reason to ''heal''. Like I said, it's not impossible, but at least the people I speak with do not have symptoms improve overtime, mostly the first months, is when changes still happen. Saying a lot of people do heal with time, is not what I see happening in the groupsapps or on the forums. It's more rare than common or a lot. I don't want to give this guy a false idea of what time does for this condition, it's minimal in my experience. Also not saying PSSD can't be cured etc., just saying I wouldn't count on time here.
