I'd like to add though, when it comes to personal issues and mental illness, finding the root cause isn't the cure.

A lot of people think that it's like in books or movies, wherein the main character finds himself or herself through finding the root cause and boom, they experience some cathartic moment and instantly become better.

Nah. It doesn't work like that.

The root cause is just an insight to help you heal better.

You've still got to put in the work to heal yourself and it will take a commitment over the long term.
