eCBT Mood

eCBT Mood is an iPhone application from MindApps -- http://www.mymindapps.com -- that helps people who are feeling down or depressed to feel better by using the scientific principles of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

Electronic CBT (eCBT©) has been used both as an adjunct to traditional psychotherapy (involving a therapist and patient), as well as a stand-alone intervention to help people address their problems. eCBT is not replacement for traditional psychotherapy, or for antidepressant or other medications used to treat depression. Instead, eCBT aims to help people learn how to first identify and then to challenge the distorted thinking that fuels depression. By challenging distorted thinking, it is possible to improve mood, and break the downward spiral of negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. By systematically tracking daily and weekly depression severity, it is possible to track progress over time, and also share those results with loved ones or professional caregivers.
