Hi.. Mental conditions are usually chronic cannot be treated with medications alone.. Most of the chronic conditions are untreatable or take a long time to heal.. Though mental conditions are not untreatable will definitely take a long time to recover.. It depends on the effectiveness of the counselling and the counsellor.. It is the only treatment.. Hence it is slow and gradual process..
