So... it... does actually change things?

I'll be explicit rather than flippant: giving someone tools to manage symptoms and live a full life can be a huge change.

That was my point. From a psychiatrist's perspective, "change things" means reduce/eliminate symptoms. From a psychologists perspective, however, the goal is to manage symptoms rather than reduce symptoms. This distinction is often lost in resources that are not aimed at the clinical audience.
