Sometimes it can feel that the constant connectedness provided by a smartphone can make your life even more hectic. We’ve already suggested apps to get your body in shape. Now it’s time to work on your mind. Use your phone to increase your wellness by downloading one of these four mental health apps.

Code Blue

If you’re struggling with depression or bullying, this app provides on-call support. To use the app, you first select contacts to be part of your support group. If you ever need immediate help, you alert the app, which, in turn, notifies members of your support group to text or call you. Code Blue even gives your support network your GPS coordinates so they can support you in person.

Depression CBT

To manage your mental health, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one effective approach. This app provides therapy to you on-demand by offering assessment tests to monitor your moods, as well as resources that help you modify your negative thought patterns. The app’s relaxation and depression-improving audio programs make Depression CBT a one-stop shop for improving your mental health.

Talkspace

Talkspace is a subscription-only app that links you with a licensed mental health therapist through its messaging feature. To use the app, you’re first matched with a therapist who will be available to talk with you at any time. While the app isn’t supposed to replace in-person therapy, it can provide an as-needed way to improve your mood. A weekly rate for the app is $49, while a yearly rate is $624.

Stop, Breathe & Think

This free app gives you mindfulness and meditation techniques designed to help you destress and release anxiety. The app has many mediation features, including self-meditation timers and guided meditations that help you with many of your daily problems. Additionally, you can use the app’s mood tracker to see which meditation programs work best for you.
