A combination of medication and therapy has time and time again been proved to be more effective than either alone.
Can they be cured?
Sometimes, I think. You can learn new ways of reacting to things, and that can lessen distress. You can learn new ways of thinking about events.
But sometimes there is a chronic underlying physical cause for the problem. Those can be managed, but at this point probably not cured any more than IBS or diabetes can at this point be cured.
