Relief from depression symptoms may be right at your fingertips, according to a new study. Research published in the journal World Psychiatry found that some smartphone apps may help reduce a user’s depression. The most successful apps were geared toward treating mild to moderate forms of the mental health condition. These included mindfulness apps, apps that focused on cognitive behavioral therapy methods and apps that helped participants monitor their moods (including digital programs like Headspace or MoodHacker). It’s also important to stress that smartphone apps shouldn’t replace regular therapy or medication when it comes to treating depression.
