Shevantika Nanda – Co-Founder & COO Mimblu, Online Counselling and Therapy App

Mental health apps are challenging our limits in terms of what we may have thought mental health care could look like. Today you can carry your therapist in your pocket which allows individuals to receive quality mental health support whenever and wherever they need it. They remove certain barriers such as stigma, price, confidentiality that also make mental health more accessible to a larger population.

Previous research has demonstrated that in the case of mild to moderate depression mental health apps that offer self management tools have been successful in significantly reducing symptoms of depression. As our world becomes more and more digital, these apps offer a way to provide for quality mental health support to go digital without compromising on quality of treatment and support. Connecting with a therapist can come with a lot of challenges and apprehensions, this allows you to have the help and support you need right at your fingertips, and is far less scary!
