One of the challenges faced by people who have a mental illness — such as depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or ADHD or the like — is that not too many people will talk to you about “curing” the condition. (Except snake-oil salesmen, who will claim they can cure your bipolar disorder with their amazing technique or CD.) In fact, you’d be hard-pressed to find a professional who talks openly about “cures” for mental illness.
For instance, Pete Quily (twitter: petequily) drives the point home with a recent set of twitters:
If someone on twitter saying he/she can “Cure #ADHD” with their snake oil/brain machine, donkey ride, miracle ebook etc. Realize 2 things: 1. They’re spammers. 2.They’re ignorant, liars or both. You don’t cure #ADHD, you learn to manage it more effectively.
Really? It got me to thinking why we don’t talk about “curing” mental disorders.
What we have instead of cures are a bunch of treatments. Most of which work pretty well, to varying degrees. But to most people seeking mental health assistance, treatments can take a frustratingly long period of time before finding one that works. For instance, finding the right medication can take months. And finding the right, experienced therapist you feel comfortable working with can also take months (even longer if the “good” therapists have waiting lists).
Once in treatment, your physician or psychologist rarely mentions the word “cure.” Cure is what doctors do for a broken wrist or scurvy. Set the wrist or give the patient a vitamin C shot, and voila! Done. Treating mental illness rarely results in a “cure,” per se. What it does result in is a person feeling better, getting better, and eventually no longer needing treatment (in most cases). But even then, rarely will a professional say, “Yes, you’re cured of your depression.”
Why is that? Why is there such a reluctance to invoke this magical word? I mean, cure literally means, “recovery or relief from a disease,” so if someone has recovered or has found relief from depression, why not say the person has been cured?
I think our reluctance comes from the belief that mental illness is far more recurring than most diseases in many people’s lives. If you have a bout of depression or a depressive episode, that doesn’t stop the depression from coming back at some later time (even if successfully treated). Whereas once you’ve treated a broken wrist, it’s not going to return (unless you break it again); once you’ve treated scurvy, it too won’t return if you prod the patient into drinking more orange juice or eating an orange once in awhile.
Depression, on the other hand, like most mental illness, knows no boundaries. It will come and go as it pleases in our lives, even if we’ve successfully treated one episode of it. There seems to be little rhyme nor reason to when a mental disorder strikes, who it will strike (outside of genetic predispositions for some of them), and how deep or long the episode will last.
To Pete Quily’s claim that one does not “cure” ADHD (attention deficit disorder), there are certainly many good treatment options for ADHD that minimize its impact in a person’s life. I’m not sure I’d call that a “cure” either, but I wonder at how demotivating it must be for someone to hear that a mental disorder — like ADHD, depression, or bipolar disorder — is not typically “cured,” but rather just treated in varying degrees of intensity for the rest of one’s life. But what accounts for the discrepancy in prevalence rates between childhood ADHD (5.29%) and adult ADHD (4.40%) — a 0.9% difference? If not being “cured,” then children seem to be doing something that makes them less likely to receive an adult ADHD diagnosis.
Professionals have a term for this “non-curing” of mental illness, too… Instead of removing the diagnosis from the chart at the end of treatment, they often place the phrase, “In remission” onto the end of the diagnosis instead. It’s good to hedge your bets, because you see, even when you are “cured” of your mental illness, nobody will come out and actually say it.
Naturally professionals can’t lie to people and tell them depression or ADHD or any other disorder can be readily cured. They cannot. In virtually every instance, treatment for a mental disorder takes time, effort, and money. And even treatment takes 3 to 4 months, in most cases and for most disorders, before one starts feeling any sort of relief.
Which brings me back to the question — how do you cure mental illness? The answer — you don’t. You help people understand what it is, learn and engage new ways of coping with its symptoms, and help them do the best they can with the resources they have available. Right now, there’s no “cure” for mental illness. I hope within my lifetime, I can answer this question in a very different way.

I have a problem with this article. I have suffered from OCD for over 30 years.
You didn’t mention OCD so I guess you meant it to be the “of the like” Section in your post. The problem with this article is the term cure. Mental illness can not be cured. It can be managed, but it can not be cured. There is no cure for mental illness currently and that is why no one uses that term. If there were don’t you think all of us, mental illness sufferers would take it? This article promotes stigma and it does so by giving the impression that we can be cured but just don’t want to admit it. It smacks of we want to stay sick. It’s completely false and you as a doctor should know that. Many people that are ignorant of mental illness throw such tripe in our faces daily. “You just don’t want to get better, you just want attention, there is nothing really wrong with you. ” now you are promoting the same false beliefs that keep is in fear of judgment and ridicule. It’s hard enough to live and battle our mental illnesses daily and to add yet another article proclaiming that we can be cured but just don’t want to be is hurtful and ignorant. Doctors don’t use the word cure for a reason. Most mental illnesses are chronic disorders of the mind. They are treatable but most therapies and medications can only improve our symptoms not take them away completely. I don’t care for the word cure. I don’t care for it because it gives others the false idea that we can wake up one day and be normal. That doesn’t happen to most of us and it sets people up for failure. Maybe if I tried harder I could have been cured, maybe it’s my fault I still suffer….it’s ridiculous. It hurts our self esteem and our self worth to think such things. It makes others believe we aren’t trying hard enough. It is not a word you use to describe a chronic suffering. Until the powers that be, whoever they are, come out with something that makes mental illness go away and never return then you should not use the word cure. A cure is something that takes away all of the sickness and it’s symptoms. There isn’t one for this. But there is people trying to take advantage of those that suffer by spouting a certain diet, pills, books, DVDs and such. They want our money and they throw the word cure around not caring who they hurt. This article shames us. It puts guilt on us for not being healed when others think we should be. It places shame that we aren’t normal yet on us. That shame and guilt do not belong to us, it belongs to those who spread false information and misguided ideas to those who do not know any better. That shame and guilt fall on doctors who decide that cures are there we just don’t want to be healthy and happy. That shame and guilt belongs to those who try to hurt the fragile by selling them bull rap wrapped in a pretty package wrapped in Christmas paper and a velvet bow. Shame on you.
Bravo! Thank you!
I understand both sides of the story. I never thought I would get cured, but after many many years of fighting back I was able to be “cured of my Bipolar condition . Mental illness is more a disease of the body than the mind, contrary to popular belief. I still maintain my health with many supplements and diet as well as therapy. But I weaned off prescription drugs and suffer almost no symptoms. You could say I was never actually cured, but I live a healthy and productive satisfying life. It was very hard and took me many years to find my way. But it was well worth the struggle. I believe if the doctors who practice psychiatry were victims themselves they would adopt my approach to finding a cure even though it is a virtual one. Is there a cure for life ? But it’s worth living.
No one ever said there is a cure. But the majority of the Psychiatric community subscribes to the notion that some relief can be found through the use of medication(s). And that’s what I’ve been looking for for 27 yrs of treatment for mixed mania (which includes yrs of misdiagnoses). I’ve only had a couple very brief periods of relief (from meds) and I know it’s possible to achieve. And the difference is like night and day. I may never find partial relief again but there has to be something to give me a boost so I can function better. At 49 I can not function at all and suicide absolutely becomes a justified way out of this dysfunctional nightmare, misery and widespread social ostracizing. The modern World is not constructed to accept, tolerate or sustain people with chronic mental disorders. And one of the problems is that Psychiatrists don’t do their jobs correctly because they’re over-worked and/or fed up with their jobs. They distance themselves and take very little (or no interest) in the pathology of their patients which is strikingly counterproductive and it’s a shame.
I am miss JUDITH from USA, i never believe that HIV AID cure is real on till i got in contact with Dr Amin Hamza, my HIV stated six years ago, i was even waiting for death because all my money went out for drugs, which keep me till today, one day i saw in the interment that HIV cure is out i then email Dr Amin Hamza, and he prepared out the herb drug for me which i took, after taking it he told me to go to the hospital which i did, could you believe that i was confirm HIV negative after the test and i went to another hospital and it was also negative as the same. if you have this kind of problem and you want to be free from it please contact this doctor with this email address [email protected], he is the best HIV cure you will find in the whole world. thank you Dr Amin Hamza am free now.
The treatment of the neuroleptic drugs is not a “cure”…it only allows the patients to sleep, the problem is people with negative thinking like you who say there is no cure, what about the 68% success rate for fasting? Or orthomolecular therapy? Some people have even found meditation to be effective.
The psychiatrist…is posing as a doctor telling people he wants to help them..in what amounts to legalized drug pushing.
Sleep is the only cure for mental illness. 1/3 of all people recover from mental illness…
You seem to want to push and agenda of devastating neuroleptic drugs, which have serious side effects.
Psychologists with 90+ years can’t explain how I rewired and healed my brain. So, I believe I have a cure for mental illness.
I was born with a mental condition that created a passive state of mind. I had very little affection which I only showed towards animals.
I was diagnosed mentally retarded after a near drowning at age six. My mental state could only connect with moment. There wasn’t a past or a future.
All my life I have lived with ocd, ptsd, schizophrenia, and in my teens bipolar started along with insomnia, anxiety and depression.
Last year I begin working on a certain mindset in hopes of creating a stable state of mind.
1. Can you say ” I want to accept everything in my life. 2. I was to let go of the past to live in the moment. 3. I will continue move on to discover new things.
This was my state of mind as a child and for most if life, until, I started being like everybody around me.
The most important thing about overcoming a mental illness. You have to really want the change. Meaning “you can’t want any of what you are now.
If, you can’t like everything around you and can’t accept one thing. This one thing will hold you back from finding a new identity.
You can cure your mental illness. Are you ready for a new life?
Some people can cure their own mental health problems. When I was very young I was very close to be diagnosed with Aspergers and later had depression and anxiety. It was being 19 years and I am now symptom free and live a good life. I tried all different types of therapies and medication and made everything worst. Instead of wasting my time with useless professionals . I used my mind and cured myself instead. Your mind can do a lot more than people think you just have to open your mind and not listen to professionals.
I think the issue here is with imagining “normal.” A person who suffers from depression, for example, may not imagine “normal” the way a person without depression imagines it FOR the sufferer. If I am suffering, I go to a medical professional for healing purposes. Whether the professional can help heal the sufferer’s symptoms or the underlying cause can only be determined with an evaluation. As far as I can tell from the article, based on the resources available at this time, the underlying cause of some conditions that cause suffering cannot be healed. The Healer, however, has some treatments to alleviate suffering. If the symptoms can become advantageous, great. Even better.
As I “am afflicted by mental illness” have sought the cause of my afliction,there is more then one cause but in the study of psychology the environmental causes of disorder in mood in mind,thinking at the elementary level are considered.Basic study of psychology says the evironment “affects mood,thinking,the way a person feels”,and is it not that,a way a person feels,all the emotions all the thoughts.But where do these emotions,thoughts come from do they come from the id from the individual,the ego,who a person is,as opposed to what “the world” thinks they are.Where do our thoughts come from,what does an innocent baby think,is a baby aware of the environment,historically and present,does a baby know “all the negativity in the world”,is a baby mentaly ill,where does mental illness come from.You are the world you live in.What is “a brain disorder”is the mind the physical manifestation the brain or is a mind more then the brain,is my computer part of my mind,is my foot part of my mind,is my world,and the outside world part of my mind,does whats happening concerne me or what happend,I can choose to ignore,ignore the world and the stories that are told but how “do you ingnore the world” be separate in your own bubble,we all have a bubble our own little world,hoppefully the romans wont invade it.Where does mental ilness come from.
Physical Work is the only cure for mental illness. That is why persons afflicted do well in a oldtime farm setting .
Your wrong dude! I’m not just a survivor! I’m a thriver! I don’t say I’m cured because I didn’t have any disease to begin with! I didn’t believe a lot of the bunk I was told…i.e. psychosis has no meaning, trauma has no relationship with mental health crisis, etc. etc. I slowly and methodically healed through the effects of complex trauma and not only have I not experienced a psychosis in 20 years & a depression in 6 years, I am a very successful trauma therapist, happily married for 13 years, and very present in the lives of my family friends & clients! You can’t say anything say is not curable, any more than you can say aliens don’t exist! You just don’t know these things! And what about the many other people in the news who have completely recovered?! I’m not referring anyone to you. Not at this point.

I find this really frustrating. Especially because I am not able to work – I tried working recently again for the fiftieth time and had to quit after one week due to appointments and medication.
I’ve been treated for about 15 years and they’ve finally come up with the diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia, and as much as I say I’ve never had that diagnosis before, the medical community I’m now dealing with does not waver in their diagnosis.
How am I supposed to have a life when my diagnoses are getting worse and I am dependent on medication? I just get the feeling that they don’t want me to be cured.
I tend to disagree with you. I suffered from mental illness, I even have a master’s in clinical psychology where at one point I was pursuing the doctorate. I think there is a cure for mental illnesses if you look at it from a developmental perspective. A person has to grow and go through their normal stages of development. Yes there will always be limitations, but if a person can find their balance, resolve their inner conflicts and go through these stages, then they have freed themselves from mental illness per se. The thing is most people are afraid to make those changes and most people choose to live in fear because they don’t want to take those steps into the unknown. I did. It has changed my life in remarkable ways. I can say I am free from my mental illnesses.
This is very sad. Sounds very much like the message that was sent to alcoholics prior to 1935. The medical and scientific community were baffled and believed that there were no CURES for alcoholism. Today, there millions of people living happily WITHOUT the disease. Some have hospital records that show alcoholism in ‘remission’. However, many, such as myself, have never been in a treatment facility other than to work. Is there a CURE for mental illness? YES. Absolutely. The problem is that it is very mcuh related to the cure found by two men aback in 1935. It is a spiritual malady – something that cannot be proved scientifically. But, come to think about it, neither can mental illness. Pharmaceutical companies, so called health care providers, psychiatrists and psychologists are making a fortune selling you on staying sick. Would you take your car to a mechanic that tells you there is no CURE?
How do you cure mental illness?
As a former mental health patient I believe helping the patient gain self-esteem/self-confidence should be the first order of treatment for any mental health patient! Treating a patient’s self-esteem, in my opinion, needs to become standard therapy in any therapist’s arsenal! EVERY mental health patient, REGARDLESS of their symptoms, suffer from low to NO self-esteem! Healthy self-esteem is everything! Even doctors know that!! What do you experts on this website think happens to patient’s self-esteem when a mental health patient hears they have schizophrenia?? or bi-polar disorder?? The patient’s self-image becomes shattered even if the patient doesn’t show it! Even if the diagnosis is only in the back of the patients’ mind! What do you think happens to self-esteem when a patient has to carry a mental illness label for the rest of their lives? What do you think happens to self-esteem when patients are prescribed medications that cause them side-effects such as sexual dysfunction or thyroid damage or worse? Good God people wake-up. A patient’s self-esteem has to be considered and treated!!! What do you think happens when a patient relapses and becomes hospitalized in a lock-up ward??? And if they rebel they get placed in isolation rooms?? And if they really rebel they’d be medicated more or placed in straight jackets??? What do you think happens to an adult patients’ self-esteem when they’re sitting next to patients who are practically vegetables in group therapy!! Do you realize the damage that is caused to the patient’s already low self-esteem??? Patients hospitalized have often been treated like children, told they can’t go to the bathroom and that they need to sit down and participate in group therapy! Some patients (with half a brain) will grab their penises and walk away shaking them at the therapist! Do any of you experts realize how humiliating, even frightening it can be to be locked-up in a mental ward?? New patients are brought-in looking/acting normal and by day 3 they look emotionally shattered! What do you “experts” think happens to self-esteem when a therapist says “time is up” when a patient is in the middle of a break-through while talking? They have mind-opening ideas that vanish becuase the therapist interupted and haulted the session. What to you think happens to self-esteem when a patient has a NEW therapist or a NEW psychiatrist and the patient has to start all over again remembering and talking once again about their past hosptilizations and childhood traumas. The therapist or psychiatrist insists. Why? Because they didn’t read the patient’s file yet, they didn’t do their job and want to be briefed. And for patients that are hospitalized that finally get discharged after a couple of months of gaining weight (their self-esteem suffering more as a result) they’d get to start the whole f___ process over again in Outpatient Therapy! I tell you it’s a f____ miracle any patient escapes the revolving door of therapy or even survives it! If you f___ PhD experts in the psychiatric community ever come to have an OUNCE of common sense you’ll point your patients towards Hypnotherapy designed to quickly help patients get self-esteem and self-confidence! Or at least prescribe a quality subliminal affirmations CD for gaining self-esteem which can help because having healthy or ANY self-esteem means healing when it comes to mental health patients! Healthy self-esteem means happiness, prosperity, success in life and loving relationships! How many people are there in the world that suffer low to no self-esteem without even realizing it???They are often sick or work mediocre jobs never realizing their full potential or happiness in life!
Years ago I’d been diagnosed as having acute schizophrenia. That was just the beginning of the hell I had to live with. The illness wasn’t the real hell for me, being called sick by my wife and told I’d need medications for the rest of my life was! I didn’t want to accept nor believe I was sick! I felt like my life had been cursed by family and doctors! I began to think very negative as a result because of being labeled as mentally ill. I didn’t know back then how to be happy nor to live thankful every day in gratitude. This is something you PhD experts should be teaching your mental health patients! Not one psychiatrist or psychotherapist in 25 years had EVER considered my self-esteem being important or might be low. Not one of them ever saw it. I had suffered sexual dysfunction for years as a side-effect of one of the meds. Another med had caused complete nasal blockage. Try to sleep with that! Another med had caused thyroid damage and stomach pain. Even today I’ve been suffering from my thyroid being messed-up! Another anti-psychotic med had caused skin sensitivity, a burning sensation even during winter! Another med had caused severe constipation. None of these meds had helped me feel good about myself and that was what I had needed the most just like MANY mental patients need!!! What is wrong with you doctors?? Everything prescribed me had only supported depression and helped make my life worse more than better! After receiving eight (8) ECT treatments and years having been diagnosed with acute schizophrenia the diagnosis changed to bi-polar disorder! By then I was pretty fed-up with shrinks and began to hate them! I was becoming more determined than ever to get-off the meds! I went against my doctor’s advice and started weaning myself off them! Of course I had relapsed once or twice, but eventually I won! When I was finally able to sleep one night without having taken any medication at all I jumped for joy the next day when I woke-up! I realized I was going to be all right!!! After many years having suffered the effects of more than a handful of anti-psychotic and bi-polar meds plus all the humiliation I had while being hospitalized I finally escaped Psychotherapy Hell!! It’s been 15 years I haven’t been hospitalized nor on medications! I still collect VA comp and now even SSD! I can tell you I enjoy every day of my life not needing to see psychiatrists nor work and I give much thanks to God for this! I live in sunny FL on a tourist island. I drive a new convertible. I have excellent credit, no police record. My kitchen and bathrooms have granite countertops and cabinets with underlighting. I live a three minute walk from the beach! As to being labeled mentally ill my middle finger happily salutes the psychiatric community that are supposedly trained to help people! If the doctors and therapists I had for so long had only treated me for low self-esteem I would have not suffered everything I had gone through! If the psychiatric community ever decides to actually help heal patients for a change (instead of wasting years of their life and lining the doctors own wallets with insurance money) maybe they’ll consider pointing their patients towards hypnotherapy designed to help gain self-esteem or subliminal programming designed for the same! A very good subliminal CD I had used for gaining self-esteem / self-confidence was created by Louise L. Hay and titled “Self Esteem Affirmations”. The CD case cover is purple and has a butterfly on it. Amazon has them and the reviews are excellent!
I quite agree with jez27. I’ve been diagnozed with schizophrenia about 5 years ago. I am currently still on meds (olanzapine n aripripazole) and still have a regular check with my long time psychiatrist. I do admit that those meds and psychiatrist help me a lot, so does my supportive family, but one person that really helps me go through this hell-kinda life is my self. And yes, self-esteem/confidence is the key for me to keep my sanity alive. In my personal experience, after i help other people (by doing a really simple task that might cause me being bullied by normal people for being proud about it) i do gain a self-esteem and i do get more stable (i dont really know the correct word since english is not my first language) after that. A few months ago i decided to write a blog about how to cope with schizophrenia, and yes just writing it makes me feel better because i gain my self confidence that i (finally) can contribute to my self (and hopefully to society-this one is still a long way though). But then i got some relapse and now i totally forgot my blog link n the password (I’m thinking about writing it again since i got the blue print written by hand in a book and thank god it’s not lost as well in some creepy night-you know what i mean). Even just writing a comment on this web really makes me feel better cause hey, it must be taken some guts and confidence to write down our thoughts in “a real social world”. The point that i really wanna say is “please put a trust on mentally ill patient”. Yes we need help, some of us even need a high dose meds, and yes dont let us be alone because worse things might happen, but put a trust on us. Let us do what we are able to do. Give us responsibilities that suit our ability. Dear world, we are schizophrenics, not idiots, so please dont treat us like one.
To Dr. John Grohol, i would really appreciate it if you publish here your research, thought, experience as a doctor or anything about schizophrenia and other mental health problem exclusively in South-East Asia Region. And thank you for this wonderful blog, as a sufferer from the so called “developing” country i am really looking forward for any news, new found research, new medication, and new type of therapy that doctors from a more developed country with their advance science and knowledge.
Hey everyone, I want to comment on here because I think this is an important subject to touch on. A great deal of controversy is involved in psychiatry because of a long history of “abnormal” phenomena. Who is to say that we as human beings are perfect or imperfect in all or some aspects of our ourselves? I think it is best to be as truthful as we can with others and ourselves. It’s probably easier to identify what information is false than what is true. That being said, it seems to me that the people on here who say they have personally experienced subjective psychiatric abuse from medications and false labeling share a relatively similar path in life. Many of which I can relate with including jez27’s post as well as the one about the cure for the human condition. Personally I dont think people truly understand what it means to be “mentally ill”. Everyone deserves a right to think whatever they want however they want. Don’t let medications, psychiatry and other people stop you from living well as yourself, with yourself, and for yourself! You can live a healthy “bipolar” free, “adhd” free, “schizophrenic” free bullshit free life. Feel free to reply anything you want.
Hi . Just want to state that from all my research into mental illness I do know what the cure is to the problem and I’m shocked that this hasn’t already been seen.
From my perspective i believe that The search has been done in all the wrong places. What i will point out is this even though i know why we have such an epidemic of people suffering from this it will not be easy to rid the problem of mental illness and will take years to manifest this.
I started my research the day i was born.I’m 43 now and like i say. Shocked.
Maybe it’s incurable because it’s part of the human condition.
Many people get clinical depression. Are all of them incurable mentally ill?
I don’t think so.
They get better. They get off the antidepressants. They go on with their lives, as ‘normal’ people.
Some people have bipolar disorder. if left untreated it can be extremely disruptive, and a chronic problem.
However, the current approach is ‘management’. not of the symptoms, but of the illness. catching it early
and treating with medication adjustment. So the person can live most all of their days in a land of middle, healthy,
normal, which is neither manic nor depressed.
It seems incredibly unfair to me that the people with temporary even suicidal depression don’t have to
go around their lives with the ‘mentally ill’ label. Wouldn’t it be better to include them? Or maybe this author already does.
and to that I would say, yes, there is no cure for the human condition.
I’m glad you made the distinction between curing and treating mental disorders. There isn’t a way to cure things like ADHD and depression, it is just a matter of finding a way to treat and cope with them. I think the hardest thing to do is to recognize that it is there and to know what to do when you encounter it. In most cases I think it is just about having a good relationship with your doctor so that you can talk about and work through any issues that come up with medicine and recurrences of problems.
actually I want to know my ant’s mental problem she feels so restless and sometime, she is start weeping. what is the good way to treat her mental problem
I clearly had 5 mental disorders and the doctor that give me medicine gave me medicine that had worser side effects that the fucking mental issues it fucked up how they just want our money and give a us shitty medicine that don’t work for shit I started with depression and ended up with 5 mental disorders because I’m pretty sure of the fucking medicines …Some people don’t believe me but they talk to me and I tell them my story they clearly agree so sad that when i stop the medicine I clearly notice a change I’m my depression and anxiety and psycosis and insomnia these medicine where the one making me feel more dreppessed more anxious more restlessness smh no I do the have depression anxiety anger issues and I’m live a happy life thank to my loved one s and god
Think of this…….
No one has ever caught a UFO (Forget area51…It’s Govnt !)
No one has ever caught an orbe
No one has ever caught a Big foot Yeti, or Loch Ness Monster………
But they all manifest in camera film !
What’s going on here…….Is this relevant to mental illness……We shall see…
The pictures have symmetry. They are no fluke or 1/1000,000 – – One in a million.
So what is happening then?… Well something is interfering with the camera as the appearance of what is in the Vista or foreground is not actually there. We may see it or hear it, but it is not there.
Therefore what ever is there is causing us to believe that it is real.
How does it do this ?
Well it has an EMF nature, can affect electrical devices, including the Bio electrical human Brain. Something that can affect a camera’s electronics and the same entity that can affect the human Brain, to see and / or hear things.
Now we are getting close.
The EMF Type entity is known in the lost person’s mind as a Ghost, a doppleganger, a dead person’s spirit and false human powers that some people believe they have as gifts.
BUT THE TRUE ENTITY IS MENTIONED ON NUMEROUS OCCASSIONS IN THE SCRIPTURES.
THE KJV BIBLE MENTIONS WHAT IS KNOWN AS daimonizomai .
It is sad to see so many Psychiatrists losing themselves in a false doctrine.
Had they sought REAL knowledge and wisdomm they would have found the answer that has always been on the earth in the form of a book called the BIBLE.
So a person that is confused…and that is what mental illness is… is actually possessed or has a demonic attachment.
Now I have gone from your worldly science and technology to expose what is. So if you do not like this answer, why don’t you take fight or flight ? DENIERS !
You psychiatrists don’t want there to be a cure for mental illness because you are looking for people to make money off of and to pick on. If you psychiatrists are really worried that if all mental illnesses were cured, all mental illnesses were prevented from recurring, and all mental illnesses were prevented from coming into existence in the first place, you psychiatrists would be unemployed, starving, homeless, and/or in any other way suffering, then just simply get new decent jobs in the private sector plus the free college education and the free job training that are necessary in order to know how to do the new decent jobs in the first place. The only psychiatrist I know of who wishes that there were cures for all mental illnesses is Dr. Peter Breggin and I like him but he is only able to see people in the Finger Lakes region of New York State, USA, where he lives and works and there is a limited amount of patients that one psychiatrist is able to handle thus, anyone in New York City who needs a psychiatrist is taking a chance. Please have compassion for people with mental illness. Please reply.
I agree. actually I want to know my ant’s mental problem my friends feels so restless and sometime, what is the good way to treat her mental problem
hi,nice to talk here to you,thank you,my english is not good sorry,please i want ask about my brother be schizophrenia before many years and he is 41 years old now,can you tell me this illness how long can be well?
I have been diagnosed with several supposedly incurable mental illnesses,spent a total of about 8 years straight in psychiatric ward,and I can testify for certanty that I am symptom free and have been for years(even as a patient).Also it’s a fact that I am not on ANY psychiatric meds!In my documents my illnesses were always in remission but never cured, to this day.Can I get symptomatic again?Sure.BUT..When I catch a cold and it goes away..Can I catch a cold or get it’s symptoms again?Sure.So does it mean that a cold is incurable or in remission?
If it cannot be cured then why use the term illness. Come up with another word such as “condition” or “disorder”. The use of the word illness tends to give us sufferers a measure of false hope.

I suffered Bipolar since I was 16 years old, I didn’t know about this illness until I had it. I was told there’s no cure for mental illness. I didn’t give up to find a cure for my illness . My life was control by this disease. Spent 20 years to find the cure for this illness. Finally, I cured myself from this illness.
I would like share this to everyone that suffer from mental illness, we could cure this illness.
How did I do that? Learn what’s trigger your depression. Calm yourself down when you’re angry.
Always forgive yourself. This illness always make you think negative way, but you have to fight back. And try to turn everything in a positive way. But that’s just a temporary relieve from mental illness.
In order to cure this illness, I need to do a lot of meditation of Buddhism . It might sounds skeptical.
Practicing Buddhism will help you and answer what’s trigger your depression. Slowly, you will feel very calm and feels inner peace. Buddhism is a religion to help you to be better person. It explains why you’re suffering.
You have to remember, it takes time. The more you understand about Buddhism , the more you feel release from this illness. Eventually, you will be free from mental illness.
