CBT and other psychological tools and therapy can help, but I find them of only mild to moderate benefit when treating the more severe biologically-driven illnesses if used exclusively. It can be a critical component of the recovery process, though. It can affect biology positively. I do believe that psychosocial stress plays an important part in the induction and persistence of these illnesses. This is where the psychological approach is targeted to provide coping tools and produce positive change to reduce this stress.
Have you tried Wellbutrin?
