I have often wondered, and the question is rhetorical, WHY we so stigmatize just about any mental disorder or those with mental componants and physical disorders, we have no problem treating with any number of therapies? I'm of the opinion the brain is an organ and a system just as all the others that our body requires to function. Mental illness is not choosen and isn't a character flaw. Until we get past the "you could help that by sheer will" thinking, which won't happen in my lifetime, we'll never be "proper" in treatment.
We do need to accept our illnesses, but not to justify thinking there's nothing we can do or that the same utilization of therapies shouldn't be used because it's emotional related. Everyone deserves adequate treatment for all disorders.
