This app is amazing! It covers loads of subjects to help you understand and cope with your depression, the physical effects and emotional ones as well.

Seems really helpful and what I was looking for without fluff while not being a subscription service like some other ones. Ill update if I start finding any complaints

This app has sustained me through a difficult time, and supported me to think in a different way. So much information available in one place when I have been let down by offers of counselling and then forgotten about. Thank you so much

Bella Dollman

I am just learning all the different parts to this app and so far it's good. I should use it more than i do but I'm just starting out.

Toni Trombley

This app seems very helpful so far. Some of the security questions for setting up a password make me uneasy. If you choose to set up a password please don't use the last 4 digits of your social security number or the maiden name of anyone in your family options.
