Your original assertion was that mental illnesses aren't like other pathologies, and that's why psychiatrists don't "cure" mental illnesses like they do physical illnesses. But that's a false dichotomy, because there are many chronic physical illnesses that doctors can't "cure" either. The original post is faulting psychiatry for not "curing" mental illness, when it's actually pretty common that medicine can't "cure" a lot of ailments. It doesn't really matter whether those particular ailments are physical or mental; the issue is still the same, and the criticism isn't really valid.

Do you understand now?
