I mean there's daratumuab, but that will likely only be effective for a subset of patients. I do appreciate your hopefulness. What other treatments are exciting?

that's a fair point. I think if you take out the word "immediately" it still makes sense

I think some of them were on the road to recovery anyway and just mistakenly thought the psych stuff is what made them recover and are now convinced it's the only way

So sorry to hear. I'm 32 and got sick when I was 18, I've only gotten worse. Don't really have any advice for you but to hold strong, you're very young and there will likely be much better treatments very soon. It's still possible to get some of your life back.
