I recently was asked to try out an app, to see how it worked when dealing with issues like stress, anxiety and depression. It’s a handy little app available to download to a mobile device. The developers of the program have come up with an app you can use to help you manage stress and cope that little bit easier.
A little about the developers of Thrive

The Yerkes-Dodson Law explains the relationship between performance and stress, indicating that an optimal level of pressure needs to be applied to get the best from someone. However, once that optimal level becomes too much for a person to handle, performance decreases significantly. The management of stress and anxiety is imperative to us living a healthy, happy life.
Each of the clinical interventions used in the app have years of research behind them, and we’ve featured all of this within the app itself, as well as below. We have also carried out clinical research trials at the University of Roehampton, with another commencing in April 2016.”
There are options available to help you assess your mood and why you may be feeling the way you are, and then techniques suggested to help you try and deal with your mood and anxiety.
Technology is really clever, and being able to access an app that can help you deal with life’s stresses using proven techniques used by therapists and qualified practitioners from your phone is something I very much appreciate.
As someone who has struggled with anxiety and depression, this kind of app is really handy, and I can really see how it would be a useful tool, for on the go, to help you manage some of your moods and stresses. It has options available depending on your mood and needs and is easy to use and simple to activate and download. It works really well and having tried it, I would definitely say it’s worth subscribing to.
