The reason why CBT has the highest success rate is that most other methods are not evidence based so they are incredibly difficult to test.
I am a licensed therapist in the state of New York, and CBT tends to me one of my least favorite models. For panic attacks and concrete problems like these, it can teach great coping skills but rarely does it get to the source of the anxiety or the depression, in my professional experience. CBT might be short term, but in the long run, it can mask symptoms instead of improving the root of the problem.
Does this make sense?
I'm actually contemplating beginning a private practice that specializes in women with PCOS. I feel that we're a big demographic that isn't heard or understood.
