Technology Can Help with Many Mental Health Issues

Everything from phone apps to telemedicine can help with mental health issues. Although this application of technology isn’t new, it's worth noting the sheer volume of options now available and with more almost every day.

According to one source, there are over 10,000 phone apps that can help with everything from monitoring moods to wellness exercises for children and adults. Then there are thousands of other resources aimed at helping with stress management, mood disorders and more. If you need help, there’s a good chance there’s a technological device or program that can offer at least a little.

One problem is that because of the volume, finding what you need can seem overwhelming. Again, technology can help. A simple web search for “mental health technology” is a good start. One great overview we’ve found is offered by the University of Texas at Austin at this link. Whatever route you chose, good luck!
