CBT doesn’t work for anything that compromises rational thinking. I’m bipolar. CBT works to help me maintain stability and stomp down the emotional overreactions constantly happening in my brain. It absolutely doesn’t work for mania or depression. My therapist was very clear that CBT only works on “normal people problems”.
