Can Mental Illness Be Cured?

Dr. Tracy Marks explains that most mental and physical disorders are managed, not cured. She discusses the nature of major mental illnesses like depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, ADHD, and schizophrenia. Mood disorders are episodic, with periods of remission and relapse, while anxiety disorders fluctuate in intensity. ADHD symptoms may improve with age, but stress can exacerbate them. Schizophrenia progresses in a stepwise manner. Understanding these patterns helps in managing symptoms effectively.
