Mood Triggers can also figure out why you are anxious or depressed based on data in your daily life. Mood Triggers will use your own data and run statistical analyses on them to tell you what’s associated with your anxiety and depression, including, but not limited to, your heart rate, avoidance, arousal, helplessness, hopelessness, negative and positive events, fatigue, and the weather.

This app can be used to help improve your awareness of your mood over time.

This app can be used for self-help or with a therapist or psychologist to help give him/her more information about how you experience anxiety and depression in your daily life, related health behaviors, and help the therapist to learn what triggers your anxiety and depressed mood.

This app is used for research purposes to help better understand anxiety and depression by researchers at Penn State University. This application will prompt you about your mood, your heart rate, your phone’s movement, information about your phone’s location, and the times of outgoing and incoming text messages and calls (no content about the texts or calls themselves will be recorded). This application will prompt you to complete information once per hour until you decide to stop. Your participation in this research is confidential. To help protect your confidentiality, we will assign you a participant number. The participant number will be used to identify your questionnaire data. The data will be stored on a secure online server and in locked offices. In the event a publication or presentation results from the research, no personally identifiable information will be shared. Your confidentiality will be maintained to the degree permitted by the technology used.
