Top Mental Health App Gives College Students Free Premium Access: Pacifica
We all know how stressful it can be once finals get here. The semester is coming to a close and you’ve been (hopefully) deep in textbook readings and homework assignments for weeks now. When finals approach, it’s time to start getting ready to prove how much you’ve learned over the course of the semester. Taking a course’s final is your last shot to impress the professor and bump your final grade up that last point that you need to claim your “A.”
Thanks to the top-rated mental health app, Pacifica, you can enjoy free, premium access to the app’s tools during finals, according to a recent press release.
Anxiety and depression among college students is concerning, with the American Psychological Association stating that the number one issue on college campuses is anxiety, affecting almost 42% of college students. Depression comes in second, at 36% of students, and dealing with the stress of relationship problems comes in third at just under 36%. It’s no secret that being in college is tough – especially when it comes to keeping your mental health…healthy.
Pacifica Labs is based in San Francisco, and defines themselves as mental health technology innovators. Their mobile app has been rated the number one app for anxiety and depression, with almost 2 million users. The app is based on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which the American Psychological Association defines this as recognizing thinking patterns and changing them in order to conquer severe anxiety. CBT is shown to improve individual’s overall quality of life through the use of coping strategies. When paired with mindfulness, Pacifica has found a golden solution to battling this mental health crisis for college students.
