I think a combo of meds and therapy can help. I wouldn't frame it as a search for a CURE, though. What therapy can offer is strategies for coping and managing life, learning how to anticipate reactions and try to learn new ways of handling situations. You are right, though, that this will not negate the way your brain tends to work. As for the causality, no one really knows, but I think it is likely that biology and experience are mutually influential, and feed off of each other all the time.
