Depression is a serious illness. Just like you wouldn’t try to beat cancer on your own, you shouldn’t try to confront your depression alone. Talk to a counselor online.
Am I Depressed?
If you’re reading this, you probably suspect you suffer from depression. Diagnosing depression requires a lot of training and clinical knowledge, and a real diagnosis can only come from a professional counselor. However, there are some questions you might ask yourself to try and understand if you may be depressed:
‣ Do I have no appetite?
‣ Do I feel powerless to get out of bed?
‣ Does life feel pointless and bleak?
‣ Do I feel apathetic to people and occurrences around me?
‣ Am I lonely?
‣ Does nothing seem to have a point?
‣ Do I feel hopeless and helpless, and there's nothing I can do about anything?
If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, you might be depressed. Even if you didn’t, your depression might be manifesting with different symptoms. Consult a professional counselor online and retrieve the spark of living.
What can it stem from?
Depression is often the result of chemical and hormonal imbalances in the brain, combined with outside circumstances. Stress, or stressful life events can also bring bouts of depression: losing one’s loved ones, getting fired, or an emotional breakup. These events can bring about chemical imbalances and these, in turn, cause depression symptoms. Talking to a professional is important in cases like these! You can’t cure a chemical imbalance on your own, just like you wouldn’t be able to cure pneumonia.
When should I reach out?
Like we mentioned before, depression stems from a variety of complex reasons and explanations. In the past, a commonplace advice would be “pull yourself out of it” – this is the worst advice possible! It’s irresponsible at best. If a person is so depressed that they can’t go on, they need professional help. This includes situations where you feel like you can’t function in day to day situations, or entertaining thoughts about ending it all.
Our counselors offer depression therapy, and their expertise is helping people who are feeling like you. Chat with a counselor online to face your demons – doing it alone is simply too hard and risky.
Why choose a counselor online?
Going to a therapist can seem overwhelming when all you want to do is stay in bed and do nothing. That’s why choosing to get depression therapy in an online manner can help – you simply open the app, answer a few questions and get matched with an expert who can offer real advice and real diagnoses. The online aspect of our app also allows you to chat whenever you want – or schedule a live phone or video session, if you prefer. That means that when you’re feeling vulnerable, someone will be there to hear you out.
You deserve to live, and you deserve to live happily. Chat with a counselor online, and take advantage of depression therapy.

Whenever you feel that circumstances are hard to handle this is the place you want to visit. There are so many great counselors to choose from !! My therapist is so helpful in giving me the tools to get a grip and get through challenging situations. Having her by my side is truely a super power !! With her assistance and guidance I feel I can advance in areas of my life that previously stagnated. If there's anything worth spending money on this is it !!!!
I suffer from PTSD after having serverd overseas. The counselor assigned to me by the state was ok, but if felt far less than adequate. I went online to find a solution and found this great app in my search results. I've been in constant contact with my therapist since, whos specialty is post traumatic stress disorder and I'm getting the full support I need by a real professional. Feeling blessed!
What a wonderful app you have! I believe no one should deal with depression by themselves in this day and age... Threre is so much you can get from talking with a therapist when needed and you guys created the perfect solution for this! I constantly get good advice and the power to manage life's tough times. It so helps me with handeling stress and not going off on people! My therpist really knows how to calm me down and find better ways to solve my anger issues caused by depression.
I've been dealing with depression for years now, my parents did not know how to help me. Eventually I've heard of this app and how it helped my best friend overcome her depression issues, and I've asked my parents to apply for the subscription. It's been an amazing expirience of getting professional help to help me get over my depression sessions, I now understand what gets me depressed and in most cases I manage to aviod getting deep into that state, I also gained helpful tools for getting out o
Managed to get out of my depression thanks to this service - it's been very hard on me, and now that I've made the effort to get professional help, it really helped me get over it, don't deal with your depression alone, there are real ways to get over it and on with life, use it!!!
I just have had to figure out some major life changes and how to maintain some balance in my life, Milt is right on and provided so much caring and clarity. Feeling relieved.
For years I was reluctant to seek help due to the humiliating feeling that comes along with it... When I came across this site I finally decided to get over myself and try it. Now I understand how important it is to consult with a therapist, how it is s a necessity and not a privilege... The service you give here is magnificent and more people should be aware of it! What an empowering tool for life! I have the lovelist therapist that I wouldn't trade for anything in the world!! Thank you for givi
BetterHelp needs to stop disguising these apps. They have so many other apps it's hard to find one out of all of THESE BETTERHELP APPS!!! STOP IT!
I really like that I can talk to my counselor 24/7 as much as I want, he replies really thoughout the day and that really helps me when I start feeling down.
literally useless unless you're just a little bit sad. if you have any actual problems you might as well keep looking.
Took everything I had to just try this. . . Just wanted a discreet option for help, maybe until I could get the courage to get some real help. Honesty has never been my best policy I guess, cuz all I got was a you're too screwed up for us, we can't help you try crisis or enter your zip. Ppl don't look for this when they are feeling good. So to get a message like that especially right now in a moment of despair . . . . maybe incorporate your own crisis help and then encourage local help.
My therapist has been so helpful. Thank you very much for making this app and service available.
Thanks for the help, not. It told me to go to a different website saying they cant help me and when i clicked on the link it said it cant go to it saying it was unavailable.
Helped me work through my depression. Matched me with a pro therapist that I really like. I'm getting exactly what I need from him: guidance and sensitivity
well i was nervous and insecure about going councilling and i didnt realise u have to pay for it. my parents dont understand depression this was a total kick in the stomach. im kinda disappointed, and i really dont wanna go to real councilling. ugh this is so frustrating.
I hate it do not install. also why does it make you pay for counseling if you're already going through so much stress why you have to put more stress on u by paying for it
jacob is a good listener, actually has opinions, very refreshing.
Reviews help immensely in choosing the right counselor
good app, helped me deal with my depression
Great selection of Therapists to choose from
good service, advisors are good
"I can't say how greatful I am to this service! John my therapist is amaizing Thank you john ❤"
Amazing! Try it out you won't regret it
no support if you're more than just a bit sad
it says i need a parent to start it for me, no way i want to get help but i dont want my parents to know
It made me took the questioner and then said I wasn't qualified and should go on a website
Over the years ive tried so many differet kinds of therapy that I don’t even know which is better and which is worse. I CAN say that doing it online is not ideal, especially on an app on your phone - its best to have a face to face connection in my experience, otherwise you can feel distanced from your counselor. That said, in some cases ive noticed that because of that feeling of distance, sharing can be easier - so its worth considering if you have trouble trusting people!
