Particular suffering from mental health problems can strengthen their psychological well-being through mobile apps, a new study says. The study, broadcasted in the journal JMIR Mental Health, stated that people who attempt with mental and emotional health problems feel like they lack control. People should take assurance in themselves that the mental healthcare apps can be effective at the same time. These apps are engaging and if more people use them often, it can help them to change their sensitive behavior.
The researchers surveyed 600 people who had used diet, physical activity or mental health apps in the past six months, in order to identify what it is about health apps that influence the users’ behavior. The results showed that approximately 90 percent of the people who used mental healthcare apps reported increased encouragement, confidence, intention and attitudes about being mentally and emotionally healthy.
While mobile mental and emotional health apps are not among the most conventional approaches, they may be a worthwhile tool for addressing mental health in individuals and increasing self-efficiency, the researchers noted.
