Anxiety management apps

There are a variety of apps to help you manage anxiety. Different types of anxiety can range from feeling anxious generally (where you worry about simple, everyday things), panic attacks and social anxiety where people avoid social interactions for fear of embarrassment. Apps can use different techniques to help you manage your anxiety. 

• Some apps provide education about anxiety, tips on how to recognise triggers, identify patterns and document your emotional experiences and track your progress over time.
• Some apps incorporate breathing exercises, mindfulness and meditation activities to help you practice relaxation skills.
• Some apps use cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) which can help you change your negative thought patterns and improve the way you feel.
