Whenever someone says "they have to want to change." in response to someone that has a mental illness, I want to say to them "but what if inherently they cant change?

I've watched several episodes of intervention and it's absolutely heartbreaking when at the end of an episode you learn that the person has relapsed and has fallen back into their old ways...

Do you believe that some people just truely can't change? Even if they have the best psychotherapist, psychotherapy, combination of drugs ect.
Hey I know I have tried to change my temper but when you are used to it like getting upset easily .But Is not easy to change overnight Its takes some time .Like lastnight my sister was getting on my nerves and I tried to bite my tongue but the temper got too me first .Just like with a drug user If he or she drugs they are going to take it.
Thanks for this!
