Can mental illness be curable? I would say yes. I believe in the environment being the main role in how a person is. All persons have eccentric or idiosyncratic things about them, but not everyone is labeled. I do think that "all roads lead to Rome." Just because there are or were problems in one's life, each moment brings you forward to the future. I believe each person has more potential than what you see. I don't like labeling persons with such and such an illness.

Some are caused by an imbalance of chemicals in the brain, if the chemicals are balanced the person may recover completely or may require long-term medication. Some mental illnesses (some depression for example) are caused by circumstances, the death of a loved one, childbirth etc. They may require medication, counselling or just the passage of time, but the person will usually recover.
