There are lots of apps out there for anxiety – I searched to find five which are grounded in evidence-based practices<\/a>. General best evidence-based anxiety treatments are exposure based – you\u2019re exposed to the thing that makes you anxious, and over time, your anxiety response decreases. Psychoeducation and relaxation may also be helpful when used in combination with other treatments. Here are three of my favorite apps for anxiety.<\/p>\n

ReachOut Breathe<\/strong><\/h2>\n

ReachOut Breathe<\/a> is a really simple app – it\u2019s main purpose is to help you with slow down and control your breathing. When we feel anxious, our heart rate quickens and our breathing can change; we may take short, shallow breaths. When we slow down our breathing, this can help slow down heart rate and help us recover from the symptoms of stress and anxiety. I really like how simple this app is; if I\u2019m feeling anxious, I can use it for just a few minutes, wherever I am, and it can provide some immediate relief.<\/p>\n

Self-Help for Anxiety Management (SAM)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Self-Help for Anxiety Management (SAM)<\/a> is one of the only apps I\u2019ve come across that walks you through the process of exposure therapy. The app encourages you to think of situations which make you anxious, imagining the details of the situation and how you would act, think and feel. You\u2019re encouraged to start with low anxiety situations, progressing to slightly more anxious, to record anxiety levels before and after, and explore what helps your anxiety levels. The app also contains psychoeducation and relaxation exercises.<\/p>\n

MoodMission<\/strong><\/h2>\n

MoodMission<\/a> can be used for either depression or anxiety, and gives you challenges or \u201cmissions\u201d based on how you are feeling. Missions may be physical (e.g. walk up and down the street), thought-based (e.g. coping statements), behavior-based (e.g. learn how to knit, crochet, or sew), or emotion-based (e.g. instant message a friend). For each mission, you can learn why the activities might help decrease your anxiety. Aside from the beautiful interface, I love that missions are mostly quick and easily-achievable, which gives makes me feel accomplished in a short amount of time.<\/p>\n
