Realistically this is what most people want. I spent years watching people choose to go on medications rather than make simple lifestyle choices. Habits are powerful.
It’s not possible to treat the cause when a patient wants the easiest solution. So yea, we have a bunch of medication‘s that treat symptoms. Causes are sometimes impossible to know, the body is complex enough that we don’t even understand how some medications work at all.
