Although it may seem intuitive that those who naturally recover can do so because their disorder is less severe, these results indicate that severity was not associated with natural recovery. Given the persistence of subclinical symptoms after natural recovery, the effectiveness of natural recovery over recovery via treatment is questionable. A major limitation of this study is its small sample size and limited power. Future research should use larger sample sizes and further explore potential differences in comorbidities
