These emotional states can be linked to contexts in the app and tracked over time to give one a grander picture of the emotional states over time.

This app also has a vast customizable option and a whole host of other options for a variety of different needs for overall better mental health.

CounselChat.com: this website is a great tool for anyone who may have a question they would like answered by professionals in the mental health field.
