What is a "relapse"?
A relapse is when a person's condition worsens or symptoms return after a period of getting better or recovering. It often happens with chronic illnesses or addictive behaviors, like substance abuse or mental health problems. Relapses can be triggered by different things, such as stress, environmental factors, or stopping treatment too soon. Recognizing the signs of a relapse and getting help quickly can help someone regain control and keep moving forward in their recovery.
