  • Your premise is fallacious. No mental illness is curable. No, you can’t cure depression. You can’t cure happiness, either. You can get treatments that will take away either one.

    There’s no virus that causes depression. No bacterial infection that can be wiped out.

    Depression can be induced in lots of different ways: environmental, chemical, habitual, etc.

    Depression can be alleviated in lots of different ways: medicine, food, exercise, etc.

    Depression is a function of our brains. The brain isn’t infected, it’s operating outside of “normal” parameters. It doesn’t need a cure it needs tuning. That requires adjustments to behaviors and chemistry. Sometimes it takes a lot of trial and error to find out what adjustments need to be made. The vast majority of people need help discovering the right adjustments.

    You have to keep trying.
