MindDoc: Mental Health Support

I have been using the application for month and I am disappointed about the results. Despite following the app diligently, I have not seem many positive outcomes. There are better apps for the same or lower costs.

I didn’t find this helpful at all. It kept swamping me with irrelevant insights and courses. For example, I mentioned one time that I impulsively overate and the it was insight after insight after insight about eating disorders. Similar response to a stressful day with insights provided on panic attacks. I never did figure out the point that it started to provide relevant info on my mental health.

I have been using several top DBT apps, and this is by far the best. Worth the money & highly recommended!

It doesn’t matter what features this app contains. It force-logs me out at least once a week and will not remember my username and passwords. Utterly unusable garbage.

i love this app. readings are insightful. mini psych evals are thoughtful and sensical. over all A+.

And it won’t let me change it back to English no matter what I do?? Fix this pls

leva ahh app

I am a long time subscriber to MindDoc (previously MoodPath), and chronic sufferer of depression and PTSD. Although I attended in person traditional therapy for several years (and did improve), I still continued to suffer and transitioned to more self management. This app helps me monitor how I’m doing and gives real actionable advice relevant to my problems. The courses are in depth and there are a lot of useful tidbits of information in the suggested insights. If you read the insights carefully, you will learn new things, but the creators are also comprehensive, so it’s also going to cover the basics. It’s not too much to read, and with good reading comprehension, it is practical to do at check in and read some info at least daily. But, it does work best if you commit to multiple times per day. Someone having critical mental issues will definitely benefit from this. For many years, my results came back as “critical”, which isn’t much of a surprise, given my history and diagnoses. But, I am happy to report that my results recently came back “poor” then “moderate” twice! I’m a little paranoid that the algorithm might have changed, as I still have been having symptoms. But, it’s hopeful nonetheless. I’ve shared these results with my PCP who specifically treats health problems related to mental illness, and she’s shown an interest in these results & technology. Occasionally I have come across content that was perhaps careless in presentation, and it’s so important to understand that people suffering from mental illness will often interpret things in a different and more offensive way. I do think it’s important that developers take that feedback seriously, as it may result from unrecognized insensitivity & bias. But, overall, the content seems evidence based, coming from an academic and clinical perspective.

Not free

I’m always skeptical of new AI products, but whoever developed this one really took the time to make it useful and worthwhile. It doesn’t glitch, annoy with irrelevant prompts, or fail to respond appropriately. It just works. Further, it works for your mental health, which is invaluable. 🙂 The only draw back is the daily insights feature. Most of that content is just not helpful or insightful at all. It’s written for perhaps children who do not know to, for example, sleep at night for their health. Maybe the apps authors could revise this feature to provide less frequent but higher quality insights that are more likely to actually be useful, informative, and directly correlated to a user’s inputs. The AI is really struggling here, and it also has a quality issue. Some of the info the AI puts forth in “insights” is of a very low quality. It seems to be at least 10 years outdated, promotes a toxic mindset of gaslighting patients about their physical health concerns, and could worsen people’s health through the negative mental-emotional as well as negative physical impacts.
