After reading the whole thread I believe noodle's post and Iansf's post describe the argument the best and most open minded. If there is anything that I have learned in the 15 plus years of dealing with this is one size does not fit all! CBT can work for some and not others. For some drugs work better than others. We are all made from different experiences and environments as well as biology, this is the reason why there is not a standard treatment that works for everyone. It is also the reason why people find treatment so ineffective when they try to follow a specific pattern for treatment, i.e. prescribe an SSRI for first line treatment for most cases.
If you live for another 30 years it will be commonplace to have our brains enhanced by nano technology just to stay competetive in the working world.
Just my two cents.
