Pinkyind - Online counselling
Let's talk

People have received online counselling apps really well to get help with depression. The number of downloads on app stores and excellent user reviews testifies this.

Indeed, if you want help with depression, you can go ahead and give these apps a try. People have successfully made use of such apps and sought help with depression, stress, anxiety or any other mental disorder.

Depending on the degree of severity of your condition, a certified counsellor can help you come out of your depression or at least point you in the right direction.

According to the National Mental Health Survey of India, about 150 million Indians have a dire need for mental health counselling but only 30 million have access to it. 

The lack of awareness among people is the major cause of this huge gap. 

But the good news is that startups are coming forward to help people by connecting them to certified counsellors. 

Here’s how online counselling apps are helping to improve the mental health of Indians on an individual scale.

  1. The Counsellor is Certified 

As compared to friends and family, a counsellor is much more adept at working with people having a mental illness. In reality, if you to the wrong people with your problem, things might take a turn for the worse. 

Indian households are not completely open to the possibility of a mental disorder in a member of the house. For our society, it’s either white or black. Either you are completely insane or you are not. There’s no grey area.

A psychologist has spent years learning about human psychology and is better equipped to provide you with a sensible solution. 

  1. You can be frank

While talking to an online counsellor, you can talk about your issues without the fear of being judged. 

Social stigma and fear of being judged might be the reason you are holding your feelings to yourself. Undoubtedly, there are good reasons to be reserved. Telling people about your depression changes their perspective towards you. Some of them might even try to take advantage of the situation.

While using online counselling apps, these problems will not bother you. A therapist will patiently listen to you and provide you with solutions from a neutral standpoint of view. 

  1. Language is not a barrier

Some of the counselling apps are providing counselling services to people in their native languages. 

Thus you don’t have to resort to using English if you are not comfortable with it. Pinkymind is one such app that offers counselling therapists in Marathi, Kannada, Tamil, Hindi and English. 

Conclusion

Online counselling apps are the easiest way to get help with a mental disorder. Whatever may be bothering you, be it anxiety, distress, love and relationship problem, depression, or academic and career-related problem, you can seek help and consult an online therapist.
