In a previous meeting, Dr. Derryck Smith emphasized the importance of not focusing so much on a diagnosis but on the patient. The patient's experience could very much be untreatable and incurable, and many of the treatments we offer them may or may not work. Our ability to cure everybody is not 100%. Psychiatry has some good outcomes and some poor outcomes, and based off of different trajectories, we see various results. I think it's very safe to say there are many psychiatric disorders that are not curable with the present science.
