It depends upon condition of the patient and how well he is responding and cbt requires time to work at least 8 to 10 session. I hope I have answered your question. Good luck.

Hi read your query. There are many factors which might not be letting the problem cure. Through medicine one can cure the symptom for some time, but whenever the patient come in vulnerable situations problem arises. So for better results combine CBT as a part of treatment.
