• One major issue with CBT is the lack of availability. Despite it being recommended in the NICE study, it estimated that as little as 1 in 10 actually get access to this form of therapy.
• CBT is not suitable for all patients.

  People with extreme agitation will not be able to rationalize their thoughts in the way that CBT demands. It requires a level of insight and awareness into one's own thinking process, which not everyone has the ability to do.
