The first round, 18 months ago, of a "lighter" version changed the quality of my depression. It made things much less ... ominous. I still have times of nasty depression, but in this current round of therapy, it's making such profound changes, getting things un-stuck that have been my life-long hang-ups, the suicide ideation feels like merely an ambivalence-bearer, a way my system expresses the resistance to relief.
As for CBT, there are a few people around who've had really good results. Look for posts by mattdds in the archives.
