I am a clinical psychologist and I use this app all the time with my patients It includes the basic principles of CBT one of the best therapies for depression The information is clear and practical However if you are really depressed and struggling especially if you are having thoughts of hurting yourself you should know that the research about CBT working always shows that your relationship with your therapist is the most important predictor of getting better in treatment That is there isn t much research out there about how well the tools work as self help So try it and if it doesn t do enough or if you are a danger to yourself talk to someone too to get the help you need On the other hand if you ARE a therapist this is an excellent tool that you to use with a patient IMHO it far exceeds giving your patient a piece of paper for psychoeducation safety planning or records of activation or cognitive reframing These papers only sometimes makes it through a whole week without getting lost whereas patients almost always have their phones or tablets nearby                     Excellent science based tool Dr. Lightsey
