# Anxiety-Alleviating Apps This App Makes Mental Health Services More Affordable By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2015-09-24 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/health-services-more-affordable References: [bustle](http://www.bustle.com/articles/111427-joyable-app-for-social-anxiety-strives-to-make-mental-health-services-more-affordable-to-the-masses) & [joyable](https://joyable.com/) 'Joyable' is a new app that strives to make mental health services more affordable for the public at large. According to the [Anxiety and Depression Association of America](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-eden-hoodie), about 18 percent of the US population suffers from some kind of anxiety disorder. Although these kinds of disorders are highly treatable, very few people are able to access appropriate care. Joyable aims to help more people treat their anxiety by making mental health services more affordable for the public. The app makes treatment more accessible by offering cognitive behavioral therapy for online users. Joyable users can work with a coach who will guide them through cognitive behavioral therapy exercises via text, email or phone. The online therapy sessions are designed to help the user learn tools for coping with their social anxiety. While the app is not free, it does offer a more affordable option for those who cannot access traditional mental health services. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Affordable Mental Health:** Leveraging technology to make mental health services more accessible and affordable for the public. - **Online Therapy:** Using apps and digital platforms to provide therapy and counseling services remotely. - **Cognitive Behavioral Therapy:** Utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy exercises and techniques to treat anxiety and other mental health disorders. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Healthcare:** Integrating technology into mental health services to provide affordable and accessible solutions. - **Technology:** Developing innovative apps and digital platforms for remote therapy and counseling. - **Wellness:** Creating tools and resources for individuals to manage their mental health and well-being through therapy techniques. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digital Mental Health Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/therapyai.md) - [Healthful Mood Journal Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mentalio-app.md) - [Self-Guided Mental Health Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindless-labs.md) - [AI Mental Health Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mentalport.md) - [AI-Powered Therapy Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-therapy.md) - [Emotion-Regulating Mobile Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feeling-great.md) - [Mental Health Therapy Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brainbody-therapy.md) - [Self-Therapy Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindling.md) - [Mobile Therapy Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/self-therapy.md)
