The meds were originally indicated as a temporary measure to help a person escape a mental state, not as a permanent fixture... prescribing and indications have changed, but there is still very much such a thing as a mental state treated by ssri drugs which is “cured”.

This isn't correct. Cured means the defect or underlying problem was solved, requiring no further treatment.
The mental stated provided by SSRIs for some is called "treated" not "cured."
