How can you assume that that this is a convenient hypothesis, when the evidence of studies done on this topic is profound to support their theory. If you do some research at scholarly sites, you can locate studies done in this area. I would also like to see studies where cognitive therapy is more effective ALONE than medications. I believe that congnitive therapy is an important part of therapy in conjunction with medication. I have been researching this topic for 15 years, and the proof is out there, so lets just agree to disagree on this.Polarbear
