Treating mental conditions like you can simply come back from it.

Depending on how you interpret that, can refer to something like brain trauma (think of all the times people were knocked out) or something like someone's state of being (e.g. I'm probably the only one in the world who thinks Pokémon Horizons is rushing with how they treat Dot).

Oh god, my eye roll when depression is 'cured' after a bottle of myserty pills and a single 'therapy' session physically hurts. Similarly, the symptoms are always so stereotypical and often false - see OCD and cleaning a lot. Sure, cleaning can be an OCD trait but it's much more likely that the person has to touch every ceiling tile 3 times before they can focus on a conversation.
