FIGURE OUT WHY YOU ARE ANXIOUS OR DEPRESSED
Mood Triggers can also figure out why you are anxious or depressed based on data in your daily life. Mood Triggers will use your own data and run statistical analyses on them to tell you what's associated with your anxiety and depression, including, but not limited to, your heart rate, avoidance, arousal, helplessness, hopelessness, negative and positive events, fatigue, and the weather.

SELF-HELP APP
This mood tracking app can be used for self-help or with a therapist or psychologist to help give him/her more information about how you experience anxiety, depression, and related health behaviors in your daily life and help the therapist to learn what triggers your anxiety and depressed moods. Using Mood Triggers, we hope that you will become more optimistic and less pessimistic, and increase your sense of self-efficacy, self-empowerment and self-esteem.

CAN HELP PATIENTS WITH CLINICAL ANXIETY & DEPRESSION
This daily mood calendar app can be used for those with clinical anxiety and depression (like generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, specific phobia, PTSD, OCD, major depression, and dysthymia), mental illness, personality disorder, crippling depression, or those with sub-clinical anxiety and depression.

HELPS WITH SYMPTOMS TOO
This mood tracker app can help with symptoms of depressive disorders (like major depressive disorder and dysthymia) and anxiety disorders (like social anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, OCD, PTSD, panic disorder, and specific phobia).

This mood calendar app will log symptoms that are crucial to major depressive disorder such as anhedonia, feeling sad, sleep, hopelessness, fatigue, lethargy, and low energy. You can then see what's driving the major depressive disorder. Similarly, this mood chart app can be very helpful for those with social anxiety disorder or panic disorder to identify what's driving their social anxiety symptoms or panic symptoms.

MONITOR MOOD CHANGES
This mood journal app can also help those who see themselves as moody or temperamental to see what's driving their mood changes. Alternatively, this app can also help those who want to remain emotionally numb see what's driving their desire for avoidance.

NOTE
This mood app is used by researchers at Penn State University to better understand anxiety and depression. This app has been approved by Penn State's IRB and your data is confidential. This mood tracker app will prompt you to complete information once per hour until you decide to stop.
