CBT is a form of psycho-therapy and recent studies have shown that it's solving depression and anxiety more than traditional psycho-analysis and yes, better than medication.

Major advantages are no side effects of medication and it's a robust statistical process where weekly anxiety and depression levels are measured and methods and treatment is adjusted.

I used react(Nextjs) + Chakra-UI and firebase as backend.

Aurelio is a CBT application. CBT (Cognitive Behavioural therapy) is non-intrusive form of therapy, for depression and anxiety, without the need of any medication. And it has been proved that CBT is much more effective and efficient method of treatment with low relapse rates. I have built this app using the techniques from various books and research papers by Aaron Beck and other CBT practitioner. This is web only app and it only works on large screens(sorry mobile folks). This app directly uses various techniques described in CBT papers, like fear hierarchy for anxiety, behaviour activation for depression, thought records, and evidence based mood modulation.

I fixed it. Thanks for pointing it out.

This is a MVP for the CBT app. I have observed a rise in my general depression and anxiety due to pandemic. And as it happens we experience depression, anxiety and anger from moment to moment. Instead of making it a disorder, it should be classified something like exercise. The step by step approach of exercising your mind to overcome the undesirable feelings. The negative distortions are part of us since the beginning of time. They helped us survive in the jungle so they are here to stay. What changed is our environment from dangerous jungle life to Instagram social wars and Sugar advertisements. I want to build an app which works like a google map for mind.

And also it's only built for web at the moment. I want to focus on the algos and scoring and the UX of the app.

The present version only contains the evaluation sessions which are recommended to be taken once a week. The therapy program for depression, anxiety and anger will be launched in coming weeks.

The evaluation sessions are taken the Feeling great book by Dr. David Burns. There are many CBT books out there which are an inspiration for this app. Mind over Mood is a prominent one among all the books for CBT.

I want to build the app with science/research backed techniques rather than just mood journaling. I want this app to be a replacement for therapist, atleast for day-to-day negative feelings we face.

Please comment any feedback about the app.

I'm curious to know whether you are working with therapists on this effort?

FYI, until I read this comment I had no idea what the app would do, and even now I'm not too clear on what I would get out of the evaluation session.

Good luck, we need more mental health tools out there.

I'm not working with any therapist as of now. The methods and techniques are from books and research papers which are currently offline and manual. I'm building a app around it which would have measuring and analysis features.

I will improve the landing page details to explain the app in depth.

The evaluation session is just diagnose if you're suffering from any negative distortion such as depression or anger. And I agree it's not of much use as of now. I'll launch more features and therapy techniques which follow the evaluation.

Thanks for the feedback.

I have worked on this side project for few days. I initially started to collect for myself to find advice and save it for later use. But I realised it could help so many like me.

Please provide feedback if I need to make any changes.

It looks good, but it somehow feels.. off? Like one of those online marketing / make money online quick products - but with a nicer skin.

Here's how my thought process went:

"Oh nice! Curious to see what this is." "Huh? Free now? $10 later? Limited time offer?" (instant irk) "So what are these, let's see.. oh, links."

At this point I asked myself the question: who are you? Why should I trust your curation? You gave me nothing yet expected me to be overjoyed with a $10 discount. Clicking a few links did not change this feeling. Nor did your "My comments"

How this would have gone down better with me personally: Just share the whole list in a blog post! Then if I like it, pitch me a newsletter at the bottom where you will send new free weekly / monthly lists to and mingle that with advertising. Or $2/mnt for access to a weekly / monthly updated list behind a paywall that I can search myself.

You've done a nice job with the product (curation) - so my interest's peaked. The packaging / framing ruined it for me.

You're essentially packaging other people's "output" that's out there for free - so for me personally you'd need to do a lot more convincing to have me pay you for work and insights that not you but others had.
