The return of a disease after its apparent resolution.
Relapse is a subsequent episode of mental illness. It is a recurrence of symptoms of mental illness similar to those that have previously been experienced. The threshold of symptoms required to identify a relapse varies according to the differing perspectives of the person experiencing the symptoms, their family and carers, and service providers. Relapse is generally agreed to have occurred when the person experiencing the symptoms is not able to cope using their usual supports and requires a greater intensity of intervention. The word ‘relapse' is viewed by many as a negative and medicalised term, and the words ‘episode' or ‘being unwell' may be preferred.

When the "cure" is no longer a cure, and the cancer has returned. A relapse can happen at any point in time, from a day to literally years after some form of remission is noted. This is why I object to the use of the word cure. A relapse of your cancer can happen in the same place it started or it can crop up anywhere in your body. It will happen wherever it finds a weakness to exploit. Consider this, if you please: you cannot cure something by treating the symptoms. A cure denotes knowing the exact cause and treating the cause so as to prevent it from happening again. No cancer has yet been defined as to its actual cause. There are many contributing factors, but the underlying cause of cancer is still unknown even with the tens of billions of dollars that have been poured into research over the last 50+ years.

This word signifies a concept in the field of substance abuse treatment: "Relapse is a part of recovery." As with all chronic illnesses or behaviors, change comes slowly. We expect from time to time persons with diabetes will "relapse" by going off their diet, failing to exercise or to take their medication. This is also true for persons addicted to alcohol and other drugs. They may fall back into believing that they can manage their addiction on their own, that they no longer need AA or NA, that they can participate in the same activities with the same old friends that they did before they stopped using, that they can "handle" their addiction and have "just one more drink," or that they are justified, based on resentments and rationalizations, in seeking solace from their drug of choice. As with other illnesses, relapse does not mean that one must "start over" from the beginning, but simply pick up where one left off in the recovery process.
