It depends on what you’re getting treated. Certain treatments can make certain mental disorders worse, so just be aware of that. They don’t always work for everyone! I only say that because I’ve been in that kind of situation. Therapists don’t always know what’s best. Just make sure you do plenty of research to make sure those are healthy options for what you’re dealing with! I have severe OCD and severe anxiety disorders and CBT/ERP have been the gold standard for those disorders. I’ve heard CBT can also be helpful for depressive/mood disorders as well. Hope you find the right treatment!
