"Doc, I have a constant terrible headache." "Stop willfully hitting your head against the wall." "Can't I just have some pain pills or something?" "No. Not only do you not need them since your headache will go away if you just stop hitting your head, that would only be masking other issues. Even if we gave you something to neutralize the headache you'd still be doing other damage by deliberately hitting your head, which is the root cause and we'd have solved nothing." "I'm left with zero options. I am just condemned to have headaches forever."
