<snip> As for your comment on altering behaviour, I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying that altering behaviour is a necessary part of effecting a cure, or that a successful cure will result in alteration of behavior?
Thanks,

Noddy,
Thank you for your explanation of your experience; I can understand same. I also would rather peruse a book - or many books prior to deciding which one, if any...
My comment: I guess I was 'thinking out loud' - and am thinking that our approach to finding 'cures' are a result of any/all of: medical, mental, physical input/thought processes, practice, etc., all of which in my experience have had the outcome of a change in behavior. My behavior changed with medication - some good, some I just needed to live with; mental, either due to self-realization or with assistance of a professional who knew HOW to help, and physical, either by stopping a bad habit, or doing exercises, changing what we can do for ourselves, either socially or other input. Not very well put, but it's the old "action-reaction" put in other words. So, yes, I believe that SUCCESS, or the REACHING for it does make for a change in behavior...and vice versa - it is WE who must CHANGE or ENDURE a change to obtain that hoped-for cure. I did not intend to make my words seem that they worked both ways, but in writing this, I think it is so. We pay a price even when we are NOT heard (NO CHANGE)- that is the saddest part. I am so tired of not being "heard", or needing to tell my story to too many people before I find one who can relate, and also is in a position to help - then does, with as much commitment as I have, in needing to be well. Sorry about all of that "stuff".

SHORT ANSWER: YES TO BOTH.
