When to get more help
This site and the app can support the work of behavioral activation. It can’t tell how you’re doing, and it isn’t a replacement for care.
Talk with a doctor or a mental health professional if low mood has lasted more than two weeks, if it’s getting worse, or if it’s making it hard to work, study, or take care of yourself or others.
If you have bipolar disorder, plan changes in your activity and sleep with your clinician. A big jump in activity, or sleeping less, can sometimes bring on mania or hypomania.
If you have a health condition or physical limits, check with your doctor about what activity is safe for you.
