Mobile phone apps for depression/anxiety self-care
25 June 2018
This research aims to improve understanding of the accessibility, acceptability and social aspects of using mobile-phone apps for depression or anxiety.
We are looking to speak with people who have mild or moderate depression or anxiety and who have used mobile apps as part of their self-care.
Mobile apps might be a major form of care for millions of people with depression or anxiety in the future. Hearing your experiences will help to ensure that apps are designed and used in the best way.
