Not medical advice
The Leaflo app, this blog, and any material published on leaflo.app are provided for general information and self-reflection. They do not constitute medical or psychological advice, do not create a therapist-client or doctor-patient relationship, and are not a substitute for care from a qualified professional.
Nothing here is a treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, or any other condition. Leaflo does not diagnose and cannot tell you whether what you are experiencing needs professional attention.
What the app does
Leaflo offers a structured, CBT-inspired set of questions and a place to write. Writing can help some people notice a thought, name a feeling, and pick a next step. It does not work the same way for everyone, and it can feel unhelpful during hard periods. That is not a failure on your part.
When to talk to a professional
Consider contacting a doctor, therapist, or local mental health service if difficult feelings persist, get worse, interfere with sleep, work, or relationships, or if you are unsure what you are dealing with.
In a crisis
If you are thinking about harming yourself or someone else, or you are in immediate danger, do not use an app. Contact your local emergency number, or a crisis line in your country:
- United States: call or text 988 (988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline).
- United Kingdom: call 111, or see NHS urgent mental health help.
- Elsewhere: the International Association for Suicide Prevention directory lists crisis centres by country.
Sources and accuracy
Articles link to research and public health sources where a claim depends on them. Research changes, and summaries here can lag behind it. If you spot something inaccurate, write to us via the support page.
