The image created in my mind with this thinking are those of tv preachers who put out the message that if you buy in, you are healed-and, a bit of money might make it better! In the article that Faerie posted, a pdoc stated something along the lines that some of us need to have our negative thoughts. I feel much more comfortable with this line of thinking.
Faerie, I am sorry we have moved so far from your original post about cognition. I do appreciate, though, that you have allowed me to process my thoughts during the thread, and, btw, I still believe that cognition is affected by mental disorders as well as prescribed drugs

I really don't care if my threads go off the rails, LOL. I mean, we all have racing thoughts and jump around from one idea to the next. I'd rather start a thread that turns into a conversation that helps someone than have it die out while that someone sits silently, not sure how to start a new question.
I'm right there with you, though. I don't like happy puppy rainbow therapy. That's what I call it. Because, really, life is very complex. And, what works for one may not work for everyone. So, I say it's okay to try that strategy, but if it's not working it's not working and don't beat yourself up about it! Try something else.
