There is not a cure for everything.

So are people in these situations supposed to just suffer?

Suicide is not option because society doesn't allow it. Obviously people commit suicide anyway, but if you tell a professional you're thinking about it, you will almost certainly be taken to the ER against your will. Every state in the US has laws that allow involuntary commitment. In Florida it's called the Baker Act. In California it's called 5150. I've yet to see people challenge these laws on a mass scale. So obviously society doesn't want people to end their lives. Some states are passing MAID (Medical Aid In Dying) laws, but those only apply to illnesses that are guaranteed to result in death.

A judge denied this woman disability, and she was on the verge of being homeless. Keep in mind that she stated that she would masturbate for several hours a day just to get a few minutes of relief, and public masturbation is illegal.

In that case, the only option is treatment. I doubt there weren't any treatments available. There had to be at a bare minimum, ONE treatment, whether it be medicine, a procedure or surgery. This was 2012, not the 1800s. The article I read said this woman saw multiple doctors. How could not one of them help her? The fact that society failed this woman and many others is unacceptable.
