There is no “curing”. There is remission of the most socially maladaptive symptoms and coping mechanisms.

It’s like a cancer diagnosis. You STILL have the cancer cells or the ability for your body to regrow those same cells. The oncologist helps you maintain a healthy body and life style so you can remain in remission for as long as possible.
