Mental illness - do you think there will ever be a cure?!

I think rather than a cure, people will learn how to manage their illness through therapy and medication. If an illness can be managed, that is almost as good as a cure. Medication doesn't cure the illness, it only helps one manage it. If your madication isn't working for you, maybe you should tell your doctor. I have had to change my meds 5-6 times in the last ten years. I have learned that others have had to do the same. And again, the meds are a tool, not a solution - the solution comes from within.Health Question & Answer

No. I don't think a cure will ever a rise. Medication takes the "edge" off of depression, it does or will not stop it. You just have to be realistic, realize that life will probably never be the fairy tale you wanted. Enjoy life, but don't set yourself up for failure.Health Question & Answer

Truthfully, no. I don't think there will ever be a "cure". However, i do think medicines will much improve over time and having a mental illness won't be a big deal at all anymore.Health Question & Answer
