The OP author is a neuroscientist and the article has a particular, appropriate focus reflecting that. A word some commenters might be searching for, which the article does not use, is etiology. 'Etiology' has connotations of "the murkier beginnings of a disease" -- at least as often applied to "the etiology of a mental illness." There are clinical programs for addressing "early psychosis" which certainly assume some causes of disease progression (or worsening) can be addressed. I don't believe they are all about adapting to some inevitable.
