With treatment, these things can improve. Without treatment, your body, or your brain, will eventually destroy you.
I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve with this comment, but I wrote mine because I want to help eden. If you want to criticise me for that, go right ahead. It doesn't faze me.

With an autoimmune disorder there is a known mechanism and it is conceptually pretty straightforward (based on my limited knowledge). When it comes to the brain and human behavior seems we have no such understanding. It is vastly more complex.
I want to help Eden also. It is distressing to me to see people making categorical assessments of her condition. I do not think it is appropriate. Trying to offer some balance.
