In most chronic diseases treatments and even cures exist for early stages but options dry up in later stages. To me this seems more a biochemical opportunity which exists for a time.
Chronic diseases tend to be progressive if not treated. There is no reason to expect MI (mental illness) to be any different. No need to attach a loaded word like "brain damage" to what is a normal disease process.
