I believe the difference is if the mind is restored to a state it was/would be in without the mental illness or if it alters the mind into a specific way of thinking that would go against the individual's personality. The former being the most likely scenario in this case.

There's been similar questions regarding monsterization. Though it unlocks a woman's true self if she was repressed, it's stated on the Lilim page that they can switch the personality 180, but this seems to be the exact unlocking and the scholar just not knowing it. I'm guessing magic to cure a mental illness would work in a similar fashion.

Medication through therapy can include hypnosis, though it's not magic.
