Negative emotions usually come with negative thoughts. Often when you are depressed or anxious, your thoughts can become too negative and stop matching the reality of the situation. It’s like you are looking at everything through negative lenses.

One way to improve your mood or anxiety is to look at your thoughts and test whether they are realistic by looking at evidence for and against them. To do this, the app will help you identify a negative thought you have and the situation in which
it may come up. You can then use the app to design an experiment (called a behavioural experiment) to test out your thoughts and make hypotheses or predictions about what you expect to happen. Once you carry out the experiment, you can use the app to collect and record the data. Finally, you can compare the actual results with your predictions. Was there any evidence for your negative thoughts?

Behavioural experiments are often used in cognitive-behavioural therapy, a type of talking therapy that has been shown to be helpful for issues such as depression and anxiety. Designed by mental health professionals, the “Behavioural Experiment Worksheet” app can be used by people on their own or who are already in therapy.
