Moodfit

Moodfit is a free app that helps you track your mood and provides resources on managing negative emotions you may be experiencing. You can download it on the App Store and Google Play. This app aims to follow the structure of a fitness app, but instead of focusing on improving your physical health, it targets your mental health and wellbeing. There’s even a cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) portion of the app that can teach you valuable skills such as gratitude and mindfulness. It provides insight into what impacts your mood, such as your diet and activity levels, and what you can do to improve it in the future. You can also get information about different forms of treatment and their effectiveness, such as medications or therapy.
