  • It depends. Some things are and some things arent. I've heard of cases of PTSD go away. Depression and anxiety often go away for some people. Other things like autism, schizophenia, psychopathy, and alzhimers do not go away.

    • Those lucky people... I guess the real queation is whether or not disease is too profitable to "cure" (at least in America)

      • Yes, the pharmaceutical companies make a fortune.
        Some people are over prescribed and some arent. What they should do is allow different companies to compete with other drug companies instead of monopolizing and not allowing off brand medication for certain things. I take provigil and it costs my insurance about 1000$ monthly.

          • And some mental illnesses can't be cured, only treated. In general, the ones without physiological causes are curable and the ones with physical or genetic problems can't.

          • Yeah, the monopolization of certain pharmaceutical companies to insurance companies is a far bigger problem than simple greed... It's not fair to the consumer that rights to serve to an insurance company can be owned by only one company.
