What happens to you after someone decides you're a problem worth solving.
means The specific care, process, or handling applied to a person, condition, or thing in order to change or manage it.
from From Old French traitement, from traiter ('to treat, handle, negotiate'), ultimately from Latin tractare — 'to drag, handle, manage' — itself a frequentative of trahere, 'to drag or pull.' So at its root, treatment shares ancestry with 'tractor' and 'traction': something being pulled, worked over, handled again and again until it yields.
