I found them to be independent of cognitive input, although cognitive output is certainly influenced by them. My cycle comprised 3 days up and 8 days down. It did not deviate by so much as a day over a two year period. Well, actually, it did skip one time. This isn't theory. It is reality.I haven't tried DBT. However, CBT doesn't influence my mood at all, and neither have other forms of psychotherapy. I do feel, however, that it is important to address extant psychological issues so that they don't prevent biological treatment success or lead to subsequent relapses.
