Aurelio is a CBT application. CBT (Cognitive Behavioural therapy) is non-intrusive form of therapy, for depression and anxiety, without the need of any medication. And it has been proved that CBT is much more effective and efficient method of treatment with low relapse rates. I have built this app using the techniques from various books and research papers by Aaron Beck and other CBT practitioner. This is web only app and it only works on large screens(sorry mobile folks). This app directly uses various techniques described in CBT papers, like fear hierarchy for anxiety, behaviour activation for depression, thought records, and evidence based mood modulation.
I've never had any of those problems, but this tool looks well. What is the effectiveness of CBT? Is it comparable to medication?

And developer question - what tool did you use to create that page? Some no-code or other thing?

CBT is a form of psycho-therapy and recent studies have shown that it's solving depression and anxiety more than traditional psycho-analysis and yes, better than medication.

Major advantages are no side effects of medication and it's a robust statistical process where weekly anxiety and depression levels are measured and methods and treatment is adjusted.

I used react(Nextjs) + Chakra-UI and firebase as backend.
