This app is amazing!

I never found an app that was the best. This app is an online version of a diary and in fact has meditations and even tests for depression. I definitely recommend.

This app helps me out so so so much thank you to whoever created this app

Great tool

This app gives many options for ways to improve depression symptoms. One of the tools the app offers is the ability to schedule activities. You first start by logging how you feel before participating in an activity (e.g. meditation, socializing, chores, reading) and then recording how you feel after doing so. This is helpful as it reinforces positive feelings by being able to look back at how the activity made you feel better. For every activity that is done, positive reinforcement from completing a task aids in reducing depressive symptoms. Even just recording how you feel can help recognize patterns where depression may worsen. This app has a daily journal to reflect on how you feel throughout the week. Another thing MoodTools offers are videos, such as TED Talks that share stories of others and how they combat depressive symptoms. I think this is very affirming that depression is something many people struggle with and coping through depressive episodes is very doable.

Good for CBT Practice

This isn’t a complicated app, but what it provides is spot on. I completed a course of CBT last year and this app really helps me to revisit the techniques I learnt. The thought diary is particularly good as it guides you through the process on reframing thoughts. The authors clearly understand CBT and so I think this is a really useful support tool for anyone going through therapy, or needing help to self-manage their practice going forward.

Incredible

Absolutely necessary especially if you’ve done work with therapy, particularly DBT.
