As of now, there is no such thing as full recovery in mental health. It's just a matter of learning how to manage your symptoms and making necessary changes in your life to keep the illness at bay. No matter how much you manage, however, the illness is always waiting, lurking in the background to leap forward at any time if life sees fit. I started making decent progress on my illness a few times only for life to slap me back down, so I could hit rock bottom once again.
It is possible that, as you age, your symptoms lessen due to the changes in you brain, but for most people it seems that the illness will always be there. For most, you can only hope to manage it.
