This model suggests that mental disorders stem from distorted and irrational beliefs, and there is no doubt that patients with anxiety disorder and depression have distorted negative beliefs.
However, this model has been criticized in that:
-It is not always clear whether the distorted thinking is an effect of the disorder, or the cause.
-Another issue is that the cognitive model has mainly been applied to anxiety and depression, and its relevance to other mental disorders is largely unknown.
-It implies that individuals are somehow to blame for their problems.
