The development of mental health apps that use cognitive behavioral therapy has gained momentum. Through these apps, patients could be provided with helpful information before they see a healthcare professional.
A survey conducted on self-rated mental health revealed that 62% of participants stated that they were happy with their overall well-being.
When people rated their mental health as good, they were 30% less prone to having a mental health problem later on.
Aside from the clinical efficacy of remote- or internet-based therapy, factors such as enjoyment and smoothness are also important for assessing the sessions. A study published in 2019 revealed that participants who used a chatbot-controlled therapy session had a harder time dealing with the sessions and their conversations.
