App Review: Mind Doc

I am going to preface this review by letting you all know that this app partners with a certain therapy website with which I have significant ethical concerns. I am not naming said website here because they have sent Cease and Desist letters to fellow therapists who have questioned their business practices.

I tried this app, like I do with all apps that I review, and I found the free version helpful. That is why I still chose to include it in my blog. But I am not endorsing the therapy referral indicated in the app. This review only speaks to the free version of Mind Doc.

If you are looking for affordable therapy services with a provider who meets your unique needs, I recommend Open Path Collective or Therapy Den as resources to finding a therapist.

Mind Doc: Over the last two weeks, have you felt less interest and pleasure in doing things you normally would have enjoyed?

Mind Doc cues you to track your mood three times per day and has a journal option. When you sign in, it asks questions about how you have been feeling in the last few weeks as well as how you are feeling now, in this moment. It cues you both to look generally at your positive versus negative feelings as well as giving specific names for your current emotions.

How do you feel in this moment?

It also offers self-guided courses relating to things like mindfulness and mental health. There is even one about working through pandemic stress. The courses are pretty basic, but the information seems good, and they are free!

If you are looking for a mood tracker that also has some great psychoeducation, I recommend checking out the free version of Mind Doc!
