Hi Dizzytuber. CBT is definitely very evidence-based and is definitely not pseudo-science. It is actually very mainstream and is an approach used very commonly by mental health professionals. There are mountains of research studies to prove its efficacy, including many literature reviews. The basic premise is that changing your thoughts (i.e distorted thinking)  and/or your behaviours can have a positive impact on your emotions as the 3 are connected. As for its efficacy specifically for ADHD, I have not looked into that yet.  However, I’m anticipating that if any studies have been done, they will show that it can be helpful for ADHD. If anyone has done the research, I’d love to know 🙂
