It almost seems to me like healing is something that I can do ("I healed"), whereas curing is something that is done to me ("I was cured").
Like Dinah, I think that mental illness is managed. We learn ways to compensate, we learn new skills to function better, but I don't think (at least in my case) that it will ever go away.
