I'm researching mental health apps — would love to hear your honest experience (good or bad)
I'm a developer thinking about building a mental health app and before I write a single line of code I want to actually understand what people need. I also struggle with anxiety and depression myself, been in therapy for 2 years now, so this is something I genuinely care about , not just a business idea. I tried Calm and Headspace but honestly they felt overwhelming, too many videos, too much content, I never knew where to start. I quit both pretty fast. So I would like to ask you a few things:
- Have you ever tried any mental health or wellness app? (I would like to know what apps)
- What made you try it in the first place?
- Did it actually help, even a little?
- Did you quit using it? What was the moment you gave up?
I would really apreciate every answear.
I have in mind an application with an chat that will do CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy)
