I told my new pdoc I thought my depression was largely biological. There's quite a bit of mental illness on my mother's side of the family. She said she didn't disagree, but said it was a good idea to attack it using as many tools as possible.
I think of CBT (or any therapy) as a way to manage the symptoms of my depression rather than as a cure. The best relief I ever got was from drugs, but they pooped out and now I'm very treatment resistant.
