Can mental health be cured?!


Question: Can mental health be cured?
PTSD, Major Depressive Disorder, or Anxiety Disorder? Can of these be actually cured or do you just learn to "deal with it" and move on, such as with counseling and medication?
It's kind of like being diagnosed with an incurable disease. You finally know what's wrong and know you're not really crazy but feel like you are anyway =/

Answers:

Post traumatic Stress Disorder can be cured with time and therapy.
Major Depression is a life-long illness that needs to be regulated on medication, just like diabetes.
Anxiety Disorders can be cured with appropriate therapy and medications.

When it comes to physical illnesses, some can be "cured" and others need to be controlled with medication. But no illness just gets better without treatment. We should never be ashamed of having a mental or emotional illness and we can do a lot more to help people with these problems than we could a couple of decades ago.
Be well.



actually i thought disorders can't be cured because if you ever notice that if you have a disorder you are suppose to take pills. The pills balance you out but there is no cure. Like for being bipolar.



Yes It can be cured by admitteing in mental hospital.
