Summary
Depression and anxiety are major global health challenges, worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic. Digital health solutions, such as telehealth, mobile apps, and gamified interventions, offer accessible, cost-effective, and engaging alternatives to traditional mental health care. These digital tools improve treatment retention and engage users through gamification, enhancing outcomes for depression and anxiety. Cognitive interventions like Facilitating Thought Progression (FTP) aim to disrupt negative thinking patterns, with apps like MoodVille showing promising results. FTP-based tools, combining neuroscience with gamification, provide a novel approach to addressing depression’s core issues, offering lasting relief and complementing traditional therapies for mental health care.
