the only cure for MENTAL illness is mental therapy. mental illness in in the mind not the brain, otherwise it would be called a disease like alzeihmer's or parkinsons.you can't cure it with drugs only get some relief from symptoms while you get therapy.
problem is some drugs cause physical brain damage particularly the toxic ones like antipsychotics, and you can't cure permanent damage to your CNS.
so if you want a permanent cure to mental illness, try no meds and therapy.
can someone tell me why psychiatrists are the front line for treatment for mental illness rather than psychologists?????? surely mental illness can be cured with good therapy, but zap someone with ect or give them toxic doses of antipsychotics and it doesn't matter how much therapy they have after that, the patient will never be able to recover fully!
or am i missing something?
