This is a huge problem with "medicine" which largely means give them drugs. Many doctors lack the skills and desire to find causes when there is a drug to manage symptoms. AMA and gov't guidelines emphasize drugs to hit some target that the average prescribing physician never question nor actually understand. We use statin drugs to treat "high bad cholesterol" because we can use the drug to hit the desired number. Instead of asking "why is this number high?" Only when symptoms don't cooperatively subside after a drug is administered do we ask "why?". But often all we've done with drugs is mask the real problem and maybe even made it worse. Doctors seldom connect the dots.
