There are two mental health app directories users can consult to find a mental health app, namely the NHS Apps Library and PsyberGuide in partnership with Anxiety and Depression Association of America. The NHS Apps Library lists apps that have been “approved” following assessment using a number of criteria including effectiveness, security and technical stability. PsyberGuide includes ratings based on “credibility, user experience and expert review,” and a credibility score that “represents the strength of the scientific research support for the app itself, and the therapeutic interventions the app provides.”

A few anxiety and stress apps with a credibility score of four out of five or higher include This Way Up, Brain HQ, Headspace, Woebot, Good Days Ahead, CogniFit, Calm, Mood Mission and Sanvello. PTSD Coach from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs also has good quality evidence to support its effectiveness.

According to Dr. John Torous, who leads the APA’s workgroup on the evaluation of smartphone apps, the top 7evidence-based mental health apps are: IntelliCare, Breathe2Relax, CBT-i Coach, Stop, Breathe & Think, DBSA Wellness Tracker, Virtual Hope Box, and Medisafe. Five well known teletherapy apps that offer connections to a licensed therapist are AbleTo, Betterhelp, Online-Therapy, Talkspace and 7-Cups.
