Apps that help: 3 Apps for Mental Wellness
Mental illness after trauma, such as a car accident, is very common. Depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder are mental illnesses that can be debilitating and impact a person’s ability to function on a daily basis.
Part of managing and living with a mental illness is understanding personal triggers that escalate symptoms as well as strategies and meaningful activities that help with symptom management. There are numerous apps available that are designed to help manage and support mental wellness.
The following three apps were developed to help organize and track mental health symptoms as well as provide strategies and guidance to help manage your mental wellness on a daily basis.
- Daylio – Diary, Journal, Mood Tracker
Daylio enables you to keep a journal without having to write or type a single line. You simply pick your mood and add activities you have been doing during the day. Daylio collects recorded moods and activities creating statistics and a calendar that helps you to understand your habits and the influence of activities on your mood.
The app also allows you to create and track goals, share statistics (to help develop a more streamlined treatment plan), set reminders and see your moods and activities on monthly or yearly charts.
Daylio is a free app with optional in-app purchases.
