There’s an App for That: Development of a Digital App for Mental Health Issues

Abstract

Mental health deserves greater attention and awareness, as many people are unaware that it encompasses emotional, psychological, and social well-being. These factors are reflected in how individuals think, feel, and act. Taking care of one's mental health is crucial at any stage of life. Additionally, society needs to be more open about discussing stress, anxiety, and depression, and not perceive them as weaknesses or taboo subjects. The increasing prevalence of mental health issues is a consequence of modern existence, particularly the unstoppable growth of technology. While technology has its benefits and can save lives, connect people, and improve lives in various ways, it also contributes to the rising mental health challenges. Recognizing the significance of this issue, Ceritain.id offers a solution. Ceritain.id is a website application designed to assist individuals in need of mental support by providing a platform to share daily stories and access support systems. The website application facilitates counseling sessions with counselors, connecting individuals based on their interests and concerns. The goal of this initiative is to help individuals suffering from mental fatigue find relief from the burdens they carry.
