5 MENTAL HEALTH APPS TO HELP YOU THROUGH THE CORONAVIRUS CRISIS
In late March, as the lockdown was just beginning, surveys in the UK and the US were already showing that the pandemic was negatively affecting people’s wellbeing. Thankfully, there are resources out there to help us. Mental health apps can provide one way to calm the mind and help you keep track of your well-being. Here are five of our favourites, all available on iOS and Android.
1. CALM
Calm places mindfulness front and centre and is the place to go for pure relaxation. Open the app and you’re greeted by the sound of lapping waves. There’s a 10-minute ‘Daily Calm’ meditation, plus an archive of themed mindfulness lessons, expert masterclasses and mindful stretches for the body. Calm’s other main focus is sleep, with a library of bedtime stories for grown-ups, many of them narrated by celebrities (fall asleep to Matthew McConaughey’s Texan drawl), plus a selection of sleep music, featuring Moby, Sam Smith and Sigur Rós. A lot of this app’s content is paywalled, however, so you’re best off upgrading for the full experience.
Free to download Full access: R285/month; R1,320/year Best for: Relaxation
