It isn't as simple as brain chemistry, for some people there may be multiple mental health issues, dual (or more) diagnosis even if the 'other' one is "just" depression.

But to answer your question, it's to help people in a more comprehensive way. With one of the issues resolved there may be more to work on, but I think it may become increasingly difficult for people to even understand (or try to) how much is involved. Certainly it depends on the person but you can bet some people may seriously deal with their drinking or drug addiction but are still caught up with sex or have some kind of psychological issue, and don't even see it as an issue. It won't matter if there are still people offering free support and sharing from their experience of recovering from it, I think increasingly there will be more and more people who don't know there is anything to want let alone want it. The fact that general tech use will shorten peoples attention span is not going to help people see there's a bigger picture at play. It seems like the best bet is to be able to help more generally because I'm not waiting for people to get there's a lot more going on, or decide they're really going to tackle the whole thing - that may literally never happen from what I can honestly tell.
