for this instance, lets say the disorders involved are fully psychologic
with either NO physical manifestations, or manifestations that are found to be negligable
now lets say theres a new therapy option available, lets say its a single pill
the caveat; total reset of the brain.
right down to leading to a 50% chance that you will need to relearn how to
walk, talk, read, count, etc
(how ever since the neuro pathways are already made relearning motorskills
will happen at a faster than original rate so learning to physicaly function again
would be comparable to physical therapy rates, rather than an infant learning to control its body
firstly, is anyone knowlegable in the proper fields, to comment on wether such a total reset
is even possible, and if it actually would/could eliminate mental disorders
(not caused by physical anomaly ie; gland or receptor malfunction)
and secondly, would you proceed with such a treatment knowing,
that youll come out the otherside, with no memories prior to taking the pill
you would not recognise friends or family, past events, likes, dislikes, fears,
you might not even come out the "same person"
even if you leave yourself a "this is from you" guide to being the person you wanted to be
personally,
im at the point, as hard as it would be to forget the couple people who really do care
after the treatment it wont matter, so
yeah, i would definately choose such treatment,
and even if my post treatment self dont take guidance from pretreatment me
i wouldnt have the memory to care about it right?
and hopfully with the mental illnesses and personality flaws gone
id be able to be a happy functional member of society
