Background: Youper is a widely used, commercially available mobile app that uses artificial intelligence therapy for the treatment of anxiety and depression.
Objective: Our study examined the acceptability and effectiveness of Youper. Further, we tested the cumulative regulation hypothesis, which posits that cumulative emotion regulation successes with repeated intervention engagement will predict longer-term anxiety and depression symptom reduction.
Background: The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic presents an unprecedented crisis with potential negative mental health impacts.
Methods: This study used data collected via Youper, a mental health app, from February through July 2020. Youper users (N = 157,213) in the United States self-reported positive and negative emotions and anxiety and depression symptoms during the pandemic.
