This video describes five assistive technology apps that are particularly well-suited for people with mood disorders like major depression or bipolar disorder. These apps include: meditation-mindfulness apps (e.g. Insight Timer), mood trackers (e.g. Moodfit), online live therapy platforms (e.g. TalkSpace), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)-based apps (e.g. Sanvello), and music apps (e.g. Amazon Music).

These app recommendations are incredibly useful! It’s great to see a variety of tools that support mental health in different ways, from mindfulness and mood tracking to CBT and music therapy. For anyone managing mood disorders, having accessible, tech-based resources can make a real difference in daily coping and long-term wellbeing. I especially appreciate the mix of self-guided apps and platforms that offer professional support. This video is a helpful guide for exploring practical ways to stay on top of mental health.
