Mind Health
Mind Health is a no-code app I built using Glide to help people improve their mental health by challenging their negative thinking patterns.
The Story Behind It
I have been meditating (on and off) since 2013, and practicing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) activities since 2018 in conjunction with therapy. What really helped me was the activity of challenging negative beliefs by identifying distortions in the thought process.
At the start of the pandemic, I started illustrating the 10 cognitive distortions on Figma as a way to channel my energies towards creation. Once the illustrations were done, I decided to build a Glide app from those illustrations to make them accessible to anyone.
Features
- Learn a new cognitive distortion every day and become more mindful of your thinking patterns
- Meditations to help you build a mindfulness practice
- Challenge negative thinking by identifying and reframing distorted thoughts
- No sign-in required and no user data stored
- No download or installation required --- use it as a web app or add it as a shortcut on your phone
Source Material
The source of information is Dr. David Burns's book Feeling Good, which is considered one of the foundational texts on cognitive behavioral therapy. The book outlines the 10 cognitive distortions that lead to negative thinking patterns.
A Note on Purpose
This app is not meant to replace therapy or medical advice --- it is a companion, just like the book. If the app helps even one more person become aware of their negative thought patterns, I have achieved my goal.
