One thing most chronic brain disorders have in common: lack of an obvious cure. Meaning there isn't a pill, a surgical procedure,etc., that will permanently restore us to normal. But there are treatments that can help a great deal.
Some treatments are aimed at alleviating the symptoms of the disease. Others focus on behavior, by making positive changes in our thinking patterns and lifestyle. This can include a variety of therapies, from psychodynamic to experiential, from cognitive-behavioral to motivational, from mainstream to alternative healing. Most are of great benefit to some of us, but not all, and part of the task of recovery is finding what works best for each of us, in all our uniqueness.
