What is a Mental Health Journal?

A mental health journal is a tool you can use to keep track of your emotions, moods and thoughts. Mental Health Journals enable you to label how you felt in a particular moment, to describe the thoughts that were associated with that feeling, and to note what the trigger of the thought and feeling might have been.

A mental health journal can be especially helpful if you are managing conditions like depression, anxiety, or low moods - to better understand yourself and how your environment or lifestyle impacts your emotions. A common practice in cognitive behavioral therapy is labelling emotions and moods in order to understand and process them, and a mental health journal can help you do just that.

Benefits of mood tracking

Better understand yourself

Learn more about how your thoughts and environment impact your emotions.

Get it out of your head and onto a page

When a thought is out of your head, it has less power over you.

Reduce stress

Writing about stressful events in your life can be a therapeutic way to release tension.

Watch yourself grow

As you journal your emotions over time, you can reflect on how you've changed and evolved.

Why humans everywhere are loving our Mental Health Journal

And why we think you would too

I like this app a lot! Specifically because the large array of symptoms to log, the ability to put in not only your official diagnosis but also conditions you & your care team suspect you may have as well as your treatments including medication!

This app is awesome for managing my anxiety! The charts really help me see track how my symptoms have been and detect trends. The layout of the app is really calming and clean. It’s easy to navigate to get what you want. This app is amazing.

Helps me see clearly! Honestly I’ve been looking for a way to help with my PTSD instead of just avoiding it. Human helps me collect my thoughts into one place and allows me to track the treatments I need as well.

I am really enjoying this app so far! I have tried to adapt other apps to track my symptoms, and it's always been a failure. I especially enjoyed that when setting it up, I can pick a diagnosis I already have, and it will suggest related symptoms for me. The symptoms get really specific, and I appreciate that.

“I have never taken a questionnaire like the symptoms survey in Human Health, and i wish it would be available in more clinics and counselling centers. It truly made me feel seen and heard, and that i am not alone.”
