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.
Great Tool

I’ve never given a review before, but I felt this app warranted one. I’ve only had it maybe two days now, but I think it’s been really helpful. My psychologist recommended it to me. So far I’ve been using the thought diary and I really like that the app really gets you to assess and analyze the thoughts you’re having. There are also some other great features like the videos and safety planning that I’m excited to utilize. I often have trouble being consistent with things, but I’m hoping to be consistent with this. I think it’ll really help long term. If you’re struggling with depression or anxiety and you’re looking for something to challenge your negative thoughts, I definitely recommend giving this a try. For reference, I’m a 20 year old African American female college student. Hope this helps :)
You need this if u are having a hard time!

I have only been using this app for 3 days and it is already changing my mood in a positive way! When I was texting a hotline they recommended this, I’m so glad they did!
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 update contains minor bug fixes.
