What is the most widely accepted approach for treating mental illness?

  1. Biological

  2. Spiritual

  3. Cognitive-Behavioural

  4. Psychodynamic

The correct answer is: Cognitive-Behavioural

Cognitive-Behavioural therapy is the most widely accepted approach for treating mental illness because it focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors that contribute to mental health issues. This approach is supported by scientific evidence and has been shown to be effective in treating a variety of mental health conditions. While biological interventions, such as medication, may also be helpful, they are often used in combination with cognitive-behavioural therapy. Spiritual and psychodynamic approaches may have some benefits, but they are not as widely accepted or supported by research.
