It's the same way I looked after a couple of years with a narcissistic abuser. A few months after getting away from that person my best friend saw me again one day and was surprised by how much better and more like myself I looked.

Which is not to say that's going on here, but that's one reason someone can appear to deteriorate in this fashion.
