Support to use the app by yourself or with a therapist
At the moment, there are five well known CBT exercises in the app. The exercises and the functionalities of them are designed in a way to remove difficulties in the CBT therapy the creators of the app have received. Before every exercise, there is a text section with simple instructions. In order to prevent the user waste energy by going back and forth between the exercises and the CBT theory - important key words and concepts recur as pop-ups in the actual exercise questions if you need to check. The answers are saved in the device and not in any external server.
If you wish to display a figurative design of your mood - the app may calculate your input about your mood over a timeline when you feel it is time to generate a graph. If you should want to share those statistics with your therapist you can easily send them. These statistics provides a useful basis for counseling with a therapist.

Remember that the app is not replacing any form of therapy or treatment. Depression and anxiety disorders are serious conditions and if you experience these you should always contact a doctor if you feel they are limiting your life.
