Get a degree and join in the research. If you get a job at a university you can research whatever you want and mental disorders are on the upswing in research funding, or will be in coming decades.

Meditation or prayer is a decent substitute for the strong willed,
so hypnosis could work for the especially gullible.
Also when you feel like a cig, tell someone around you, the dialogue itself will be a form of accountability.

I quit for a few years by refusing to buy them, which is like self hypnosis.

Why would pharmaceuticals prioritize curing a disorder which only a fraction of a fraction of the population suffer from, which is also on a spectrum with very few of that minority having debilitating symptoms that require full supervision?

Does it suck? sure. Does it deserve funding and research compared to aids or cancer? Malaria? sorry but no.

there can't be a "cure" for a made-up condition. you can't fix what is essentially a complex of bad mental habits by taking a pill.
