How many mental illnesses are really 100% curable though? I think you can take steps necessary to try and learn to cope with it, but I am not sure it ever is 100% cured?

Small pox and polio were cured/are curable with medication. 100%—I don’t know

@SergeantQueen Nope. Smallpox was eradicated, it was not cured, and there is still no cure. Polio does not have a cure so to speak either, it has treatment and supportive therapies to keep the patient alive and hopefully they wind up fighting it off without any long term damage.
