Question: Would you say that about physical health diseases/disorders that have no cure, only treatment for symptoms? There are MANY of them out there. We go on the assumption that mental disorders are the only incurable illnesses. Simply not so.

My husband has an incurable physical disorder that can only be treated for symptoms. Should we just accept treatment without a name for what they are treating. "Here. Take this for what ails you. No need to know what it is or what it's called though."

Diabetes is not curable. "Here. We're going to put his implantable device in you that will be really expensive and change your life. No need to know why though since it is only your symptoms we're treating. You can't be cured."
