Meet Woebot, a therapist in an application
Therapy can be a useful tool for a range of individuals from all backgrounds. But in some cultures, the therapy is attached to stigma and people are intimidated to attend a session in person. This fear prevents self-help capacity. The Internet therefore offers a solution: mental health catbots.

Nowadays, applications replace the traditional therapist sofa. Woebot is a mental health catbot or "Chatbot therapist", which helps people with depression and other mental health problems while maintaining anonymous users.
It was first tested on a group of students who reported feelings of depression and the results were extremely promising, with those who used Woebot experiencing a tremendous decrease in the symptoms of depression.
Here's how it works: First, the bot will write you and will present you. If you talk to Woebot about your insecurities, it could highlight the distorted thought and encourage you to be more objective or celebrate your little victories with Gusto.
Woebot is the encouraging mother of the touch key saying: "You have this, darling", but with more effective adaptation mechanisms that you can reach during low times. Woebot uses artificial intelligence and cognitive-behavioral therapy, one of the most professional depression and anxiety treatments for treating depression.
This therapy does not focus on the bad things that happen to us, but the way we react to them. This seems to be that the future of people who are not ready to revive therapy in person or to suffer such conditions such as serious social anxiety or agoraphobia.
It also focuses on small things and current issues rather than the greatest and most frightening that can come into therapy and feel hard to solve. For example, instead of making a deep dive in a damaged relationship with a parent, Woebot could encourage you to discuss a current fight with a friend or office office conflict that happened this week.
Sometimes chat with Woebot looks like a conversation with a friend. At others, we look like a game in which different interactions can provide tiny sepans of wisdom that the IA BOT holds and stores for later, as a therapist.
For $ 39 a month, it makes a much more accessible therapist, with less fear of judgment - if it can help us feel better in the chaos of today's world, it's worth a photo.
