The apps are based on a certain group of the target audience which is youth and anyone who is suffering from mental health disorders. The app makers make sure the apps are specifically designed to soothe the users aesthetically reducing the chances of screen induced/light-induced anxiety or triggers.

What are these apps for and how do they work?
These are the applications based on a professional help concept that is provided to people who cannot afford high amounts of investment in therapy and can’t really go out to get professional help in a physical mode of interaction.
These apps make sure they include every possible problem that can be solved in an unpaid mode online by certain breathing techniques and by letting people know that they are fine, as certain people just need reassurance in the form of words to feel better.
For the problems that cannot be found in an unpaid mode, they have special premium paid updates in which people can actually talk their heart out to professionals and hence find a personalized solution.
How are these apps designed?
These apps are specifically designed in order to minimize any possibilities for visual triggers and hence are created aesthetically very pleasing.
The visuals are minimal and attractive, specially designed for the sensitive group of the population. All the factors are seen such as perfectionism, OCD triggers, and visual triggers.
The music in the background is very soothing and can always be adjusted. The AI voice talking to the user as a person is also a calm and soothing voice that won’t trigger major sections of those users.
Some examples of mental health care applications are as follows:
· Being: My mental health friend
· Amaha(inner hour)
· I feel
All these apps work on a single motive which is to provide users with professional help for their mental health issues online in the comfort of their phones, side-by-side avoiding any uneasiness causing triggers.
How are these contributing to the psychological business?
These apps attract the group that is severely affected by their mental health disorders and who wants to eliminate their mental sufferings.
These audiences usually have specific life problems and want to talk them out to someone in the hope of getting a solution.
These specific problems are taken care of by individual psychiatrists that are provided to each user once they buy the premium mode of the app, hence contributing to the economy of the psychological sector of business.
How will these apps further grow?
Kapil Gupta, founder of Solh Wellness said in an interview with news 9 “Adopting these apps, and raising awareness such that people know there are tools and solutions they can use is a tedious task.”
As people will get more and more aware of mental health and their mental well-being, in this busy world, apps will be one of the major ways out for their day-to-day issues and hence will continue to grow more.
In a long run, we can only see growth and no downfall in these apps as people are getting aware that investing in their own mental health needs is not a Waste instead is a part of their personal growth and recreation.
HAPPY MENTAL HEALTH EVERYONE!
