I find myself embroiled in a debate on the merits of cognitive behavioral therapy vs. other psychotherapy. CBT works and will get you off meds. This person disagrees. Note how they've been in therapy for 10 years. If your fix takes 10 years doesn't stop, it's not a fix.https://twitter.com/surugucci/status/1249375821028036609 …

Saying CBT is BEST. It’s one of a variety of treatments that all have varying levels of efficacy depending on what is being treated. I agree the astrology thing was stupid.
In this context, which is what I was in when I wrote CBT is best, CBT is best. He’s talking about therapy for anxiety. It is the best most effective treatment for this. I am well read on this topic and not wrong. https://twitter.com/nntaleb/status/1249043280400171013?s=21 …https://twitter.com/nntaleb/status/1249043280400171013 …

And I just don’t think BEST should be used. People are different, and different things work for them. It’s like saying reading is the BEST way to learn. It might be for you but not everyone https://www.rcpsych.ac.uk/mental-health/treatments-and-wellbeing/cognitive-behavioural-therapy-(cbt) …pic.twitter.com/L9Vwa2F7OJ

Disagree. Go look up the keto diet and diabetes, for example. There’s a lot of money behind pills and dialysis and none behind keto. Keto works better. Psychotherapy is the same way. Of course people who make money on never-ending psychotherapy are against the proven quick fix.
