Can mental illnesses be cured?

No. Symptoms can be managed and treated to the point where they no longer significantly disrupt functioning, but I don't believe the illness itself ever fully vanishes.

Speaking to my OCD, no. But exposure therapy is typically successful in treating it.

ERP is worse than ocd.

Cured, no I don't think so.
Managed? Yeah I guess.
