What wider research suggests
Learning can be a useful first step
Research in the wider field suggests online education can improve mental-health knowledge, while stigma can make it harder to seek help. Evidence also supports clinician-delivered schema therapy for some concerns. These findings do not test or validate this specific app, and education alone does not replace care.

Stigma and seeking help
A systematic review found stigma had a small-to-moderate negative association with seeking mental-health support.
Clement et al., 2015Schema therapy
Evidence belongs to treatment
A 2023 review found promising evidence for schema therapy delivered by trained clinicians. That is different from using this educational tool.
Zhang et al., 2023Questions people ask
Who is this for?
Anyone who wonders why the same thought keeps coming back. No experience needed.
Is this therapy or a diagnosis?
No. It is an educational tool. It cannot know your full story, diagnose anything, treat anything, or help in an emergency.
Is anything I write saved?
No. What you write stays on the page while you use it and disappears when you leave or refresh.
How do I keep it?
Press Download my page in the Thought Journal. That download is your only copy.
What if it feels like too much?
Stop, and reach out to someone you trust, a mental health professional, a local crisis line, or emergency services.
