Anxiety Apps are increasing in popularity, as the COVID pandemic has continued people are struggling with their mental health more and more, and particularly their anxiety. People’s anxiety may be about the pandemic itself and catching the virus, around family, being in lockdown and always being with those we live with can put strain on relationships. It could be anxiety about jobs, how it will be when we return to work, or if in fact we might lose our job.
Finding strategies and ways to deal with those anxieties is incredibly important particularly in a world where we are all more isolated and distanced. You can read a recent blog on this website Managing Anxiety 3 Quick Tips about how you can manage your anxiety in different and creative ways. For some though, what really works to support them is in the digital world. Accessing mental health support online facilitates help that is flexible, easy to access and lower cost.
