As a consumer, there's no way in hell I'd do anything involving mental healthcare using an app or a start up. With every service handing our data over to 3rd parties, and failed companies selling off customer data to help offset their losses the last thing someone needs is having "struggles with mental health issues" ending up in their permanent record. You can't even call a crisis hotline without your wireless carrier selling that info to anyone willing to pay for it. If someone is struggling with their mental health they should speak with their doctor in person.
