MoodTools - Depression Aid
Young adult feedback
MoodTools is not a visually interesting app, but offers a good range of audio and video resources, a great safety planning tool, and helpful readings about treatment guides.
Expert feedback
Moodtools is a well-organised app providing a broad range of tools to assist users who are diagnosed with Depression. The app contains CBT exercises, lists support options and resources, has an extensive list of helpful YouTube videos, and includes a non-stigmatising Depression screening test that suggests supports based on user scores. The visual design is very basic, but this app is highly recommended!

#SelfLove & Motivation Journey
Young adult feedback
The app provides short activities to help reduce negative thoughts and promotes positive self-talk. It is really basic and not very entertaining but may be useful for a few minutes a day to encourage positive thinking.
Expert feedback
This app focuses on challenging unhelpful thinking patterns and providing users with positive thoughts through reframing statements. The app aims to help users better manage a range of mental health and wellbeing concerns and is simple to use. Content is limited and there is not psychoeducation provided around the purpose of thought challenge, but worth trying as users may find statements helpful.

GG OCD - Anxiety & Depression
Young adult feedback
This app has some confusing elements, but really good concepts overall and I would recommend it to others.
Expert feedback
A user friendly app that focuses on challenging unhelpful thinking patterns and providing users with positive thoughts to help better manage a range of mental health and wellbeing concerns. The design makes the app easy to use, but the information can become repetitive and tedious. There seems to be little education to highlight the reasons why a user’s belief might be unhelpful, and there appears to be cultural considerations given to suggestions. Overall, the app is worth exploring but may not be suited to users who are disengaged within 10 minutes.

CBT Companion
Young adult feedback
This app has a good mood tracker that allows you to track multiple emotions with percentages, has good range of exercises along with lessons and videos although these are sometimes hard to follow. There were a few errors with the app including the 'tour' option not working.
Expert feedback
CBT Companion is truly an impressive, well-designed app! Not only does it incorporate a vast amount of information (via text and videos) about mental health, it also offers a variety of meditation tracks, a diary function, assessments, a community discussion board, quizzes and more. A 5-star app if not for some issues with functionality.

I felt so angry at everything
Partially, I realised that I was genderqueer - but more than this, I felt so angry at everything. I couldn't pay attention. Couldn't sit still. Kept getting in trouble at school. All the while somehow convincing my parents and friends that I was still this perfect kid. That everything was fine.

Tell us your storyI thought I was the reason why they divorced
It gave me reasons to hate myself. I thought I was the reason why they divorced. I finished primary school and thought high school would be a blank slate, a fresh page or a new chapter. But in reality it was the catalyst to where I am now. I realised no one else was in charge of my happiness except for me. The catch… I'm bisexual and my mum has traditional views.

I found Kids Helpline through school and started reading other peoples’ stories. It makes me feel better knowing I'm not alone in this stress and depression rollercoaster.
