I totally resonate with that, dude. I am in the same camp. My severity and chronicity of disorder is so high and long that I can only hope for a reduction, not a prophylaxis
It isn't *really* fatalistic as I've undergone all this for more than a decade now, it's realism if anything. If it was an episodic condition or even mild/moderate, I'd agree, but my condition is severe and clinically chronic so it's more so 'lifelong'. I get your point, however.
