Dr. APP will see you now?

Treating Mental Health has always carried a certain stigma in society. While physical injuries are considered common and treatments are vast, discussing mental health is sometimes done in a more confidential setting. The human brain is the largest and most complex organ in the human body, and treating it is just as complicated. Recent Smartphone APP’s, connecting the masses to a form of always available therapy, have sprung on APP stores, with large celebrity endorsements. They tout convenance of therapy on your smartphone and use  tech like AI to provide a ‘better’ more economical experience. But do they really work compared to traditional therapy? Or are they just creating a bigger problem for those in need of help.
