How Are You App – Therapy in your pocket
How Are You App, is devoted to people who suffer from depression and mood disorders. We believe that a mood tracking has a tremendous potential to help people in depression understand what are the main mood triggers in their life, and how they change their mental health.
The app also promotes mental health by scientifically proven exercises which are sent to the user each time he or she makes a mood test. Unique features of How Are You App, like broad analysis, buddy encouragement, and gratitude diary along with exercises and hints from positive psychology, make it a comprehensive and highly efficient tool for self-improvement and better mental health
The How Are You App was developed for individuals, therapists, hospitals and business. Learn more on How Are You App website.
