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

Unscramble your brain

Get thoughts out of your head and into your journal, freeing up your mind for what matters to you.

Add context to symptom changes

Journal entries catch important information about your experiences that could be affecting your symptoms.

A time-capsule for your thoughts

Look back in time at how your entries have changes to learn if your coping startegies are working.

Real health data

Share journal entries with your care team to make advocating for your health easier.

Why humans everywhere are loving our Mental Health Journal

And why we think you will, 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.”
