There is one case of a thought (not mental) disorder. Its based on irrational and unsubstantiated beliefs. I am talking about people who are brainwashed. They have a thought disorder. It doesn't matter if this is done by tyrannical governments, religious cults, or the more rogue CBT practitioners. Its still a thought disorder.
CBT is a tool that can have good value in improving coping mechanisms. What CBT is used for is critical. When its used to support unproven fantasy views of reality its dangerous.
People can also be mistaken about things. I am dead sure most of us have experienced an idea about what CFS is or is not, or about what ME is or is not, that seemed reasonable at the time, but which we now reject. I know I have.
