A new report, Digital & Mental Health Recovery Action Plans, has shown a rise in mental health app usage and searches during the pandemic and explains how, post pandemic, apps can play a supportive role in the national recovery.
ORCHA, the Organisation for the Review of Care and Health Apps, is the world’s leading app review service and provides app libraries for 70% of NHS regions.
The report gives insight into the country’s national mood during lockdown, revealing that app searches for key mental health issues rose dramatically. Along with increases in searches for anger, anxiety and fear, searches for depression rose by 156%, OCD rose by 422% and stress rose by 113%.
