Mental Health+ Tech World

The World of Technology is constantly advancing and thanks to an intelligent, passionate Karan Singh, the co-founder of www.ginger.io, we can use the smartphone(application) to improve mental health care for people living with Mental Illness and their providers.

Also, another helpful application is www.moodmatters.org

How is all of this useful?
 A patient cannot always follow up on their symptoms with their clinician. It may take a week or a month until their next appointment, but in reality a person should be self-managing their symptoms. This application allows a person to identify with their symptoms and learn about useful strategies to feel better-depression, anxiety, mood disorders? Use this application or recommend it to a friend.

With technology sadly ruling the world, having an application to address symptoms is a good idea. My ultimate fear is that this can or will replace the interpersonal interaction-this is actually my worst nightmare.  We can utilize technology for self-management, but it cannot replace time with clinicians and utilization of other tools to cope with illness. 


DO YOU KNOW ANYONE WITH AN ILLNESS WHETHER MILD TO SEVERE WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM THIS APPLICATION? FEEL FREE TO SHARE ABOUT IT
