That's correct and I agree that a lot more should be done. I'm just saying that right now, there is no better option. Also, if therapy really had no significant positive results (in aggregate!) I think we'd hear more about that from affected patients. Instead, you can find lots of accounts from people who said that therapy has greatly improved their lives.

(This is different from the horrible transgressions of the 19th and 2/3rds of the 20th century where the "results" were mostly how the patients appeared to others but not how they felt themselves - if you bothered to see them as humans at all)
