I've tried meds with horrible side effects.I can't take them.CBT hasn't done much for me either,except make me fell worse.Maybe we should just accept ourselves the way we are?

@mikelmunny Hi, I think that's a really good start. CBT doesn't work for everybody, but it is really effective if done properly. Did you do it inline with medication?

[heathygrl]

CBT has helped me come off medication for Bipolar/Schizophrenia. It changed my life. I am extremely grateful for it. :D

@heathygrl Really glad to hear that :) would you mind writing us a testimonial? you can remain anonymous?

It is greatly offensive to me to hear people are mentally ill when in reality they are cognitively scared...not insane but being baddgered in the toxic enviorment. I also hate pro toxic med doctors........you type doctors should be killed on your condemned meds....via legal force feeding of zyprexa etc.....

Hooorraaaayyyyy!!!!.... I don't need to go back to CBT. It was doing nothing!! I was offered EFT tho !!!!.. Poke yourself in the face till you feel better ?....Nooooo thanks. I wasted a lot of time a few years ago on that nonsense.

@mectpr Ooooohhh!!!.....Don't get nippy!!...lol. I wasn't picking a fight....However , I do not subsribe to your view that you have to believe in something for it to work. If it works....it works.....THEN you can believe in it. I find it difficult to understand how psychological treatments can be scientifically proven. If it manages to kick the "Positive thinking" person...and improves them...then that is fabulous...BUT , the same success rate could be reported from any religious group.

@ITH831 CBT is not the only treatment for psychological disorders. But if you dont believe in CBT or in psychologists, you is one of a lot of people that go to psychologists and never change, because dont believe in nothing. Most of psychological treatments are scientifically proven a lot of times. If some treatment isnt proven scientifically should not be using with clients

@pukeachu Hi Pukeachu -CBT is most effective with anxiety disorders including phobias. If done properly a lot of people don't experience and come backs of anxiety -it normally eradicates it or as a minimum makes it alot more manageable
