More important than viable, for some people it actually is vital. It is a very, very important note. For some people, psychiatric support is not a pill to alleviate some pain, it is more like a pacemaker: it's the difference between life and death.
It can be the difference between a completely clogged brain coupled with suicide attempts (where no amount of tentative discussions with specialists resonates, if the person even has the energy to get out of bed at all), and having the energy to learn and use the therapeutic tools for well-being.
I'm glad to see that CBT has been an interesting tool for you by the way, and there's a lot of growth around CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care, that is fantastic for the improvement of mental health nowadays.
