Mental Health - Apps on Apple's App Store

In commemoration of today’s Global Mental Health Day (October 10th), let’s discuss some resources, such as apps, blogs, newsletters, and podcasts, that can help you maintain or improve your mental health. The key point is to emphasize that everyone is human, and we all encounter various challenges, including anxiety, depression, and more. While these resources are not intended to replace therapy, they can support and enhance your mental well-being.
