Treat "mental illness" with physical technology?
This assumes without evidence that "mental illness" is a physical thing.

Your brain is physical. Like even if it was ptsd due to some memory. It could be possible to physically block or permanently erase that. Maybe even modify the memory.

Your mind is where?

No one knows.
There is no science based evidence that the mind is something created by the brain, but I could be wrong perhaps you know of specific experiments that I do not.
There are lots of observations that indicate that consciousness exists outside of our physical bodies.
Countless experiments and observations clearly show that humans are able to obtain information from locations outside of our five senses.
The military refers to this as remote viewing, it is a very real phenomenon which you yourself can quickly confirm by trying it yourself.
The fact that you are able to perceive things outside of the your five senses indicates that the mind is not confined to the brain.
I don't expect you to believe me until you have done it yourself, so I encourage you to set up a blind target and try it yourself.
Just so you know I'm not just making this up or crazy:
Mainstream media is slowly beginning to accept it
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/remote-viewing-up-close/
This article from Columbia University provides many specific experiments that confirm the above as well.

If anyone is interested in this and wants to really dive deep here are 18,000+ CIA documents about remote viewing.

I know what you're talking about. And you are right there is unknowns. But here is what we know.
- Based on actual events (people messing up their brain with a fall, nail gun, or doctors cutting on the brain) you can forget things, act different, and even talk differently.
- There has been cases where people hit there head (like dive in a pool that was too shallow) and while they lost a lot of abilities. With 0 training prior, they were a master of things like a piano.
You are talking about "you". Or more so the soul. But I'm talking about your hardware. Like we don't know enough and maybe it might make this impossible.
But lets assume I'm right and you could do most of this. Then in theory you could cure mental illnesses, change modern education to be more social and creative skills, and so on.

Of course its physical. What else would it be?

The mind is not physical.
I could be wrong, maybe you have some science based evidence that indicates otherwise.
I personally believe that humans are non physical entities that currently inhabit a body.
Observations that support this claim include the fact that all humans are able to perceive information from outside of our 5 senses.
The military calls this ability remote viewing, and everyone is able to do this.
This includes YOU, try it.
here are 18,000+++ declassified CIA documents about it

here is a video from an ex military remote viewer explaining.

Also a "biased" wikipedia page about it.

Altering the brain, through trauma or otherwise can cause drastic changes in personality, behaviour mood etc. All things we associate with the mind
