Washington, March 25 (IANS) If you are getting stressed out and depressed owing to studies or relationships, there is an app that helps tide over mental tireness.
The researchers at University of Michigan have developed a stress-busting app that helps students to overcome depression.
The students at Ann Arbor college are using the app to promote wellness and encouraging classmates to join health-centric events on campus.
"Everyone is looking at their phones and tablets so this is a welcome move to ease the pressure," Jordan Friedman, the developer of the wellness app called Stressbusters, was quoted as saying.
The app is also being used by students in a number of US universities, he said.
It includes talks and videos that help students lessen stress via news alerts and inspirational messages.
For students with an emergency, the free-to-download app has a one-touch dial button that links students directly with a responder.
The Stressbusters app is available at Apple's App Store and Google Play for Android devices.
