CBT, a common mental health treatment, may not work for everyone; alternative therapies like ACT may be more suitable for some.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a common and effective treatment for mental health issues like anxiety and stress. It helps patients change negative thought patterns and behaviors. However, it may not work for everyone; some individuals report worsened symptoms or increased distress. The therapy's effectiveness can depend on the therapist's expertise and the patient-therapist match. For some, alternative therapies like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) may be more suitable.
