Abstract

Mobile phones are probably one of the fastest growing and most rapidly adopted technologies in the world. The various apps and their health features are still relatively new, but their popularity is growing rapidly. The purpose of this study is to explore multiple elements of mental health applications. This study examines many aspects of mental health-related applications available on the Google Play Store between 2016 and 2020. We used a list of keywords such as mental health, mental illness, mental illness, mental illness remedies, and mental illness remedies to search for apps in the Google Play store. Various applications and programming tools were used to scrape the data. According to our findings, psychiatric apps primarily address the following symptoms: depression, anxiety, general mental health, stress, post-traumatic stress disorders, bipolar disorders, panic disorders, Sleep disorders, schizophrenia, compulsive disorders, substance abuse (drugs and alcohol), addiction (techniques, etc.). The app, on the other hand, offers different approaches to improving mental health. Relaxation, stress management, symptom tracking, soothing audio, journaling, connecting with mental health resources, interpersonal support, meditation, mood tracking, etc. are one of the approaches. These simple and engaging mental health apps have addressed specific mental health issues. The most common strategy for dealing with these issues is relaxation. It was not possible to predict the reliability of these applications based on their ratings and the number of users rated.
