Reply to comment by thumpthumpboom in TIL after her death, Mercy Brown's heart and liver were burned and the ashes mixed into a tonic that was given to her sick brother to drink. Her father believed that she was a vampire and that the tonic would cure the brother of tuberculosis. It didn't; he died two months later. by NightVisible3767

Yep. Today we have managed disease and viruses so well that some people think they aren't even real anymore.

Reply to comment by Ruca705 in Study finds brain changes associated with ADHD remission. As the brains of those with ADHD mature, some individuals may repetitively engage in strategies that compensate for symptoms. These repetitive behaviors may result in the brain changes seen in those who went into remission. by Wagamaga

Probably "I'm OK now (and possibly don't want the meds anymore)" is considered "in remission"
