Are any of the mental health apps not just glorified pillmills?

  There are lots of apps which do not connect you to a doctor and therefore do not connect you to pills either. Is that what you meant? The apps I have in mind are based mostly on CBT and/or mindfulness.

    What is CBT in this context because the CBT that comes to my mind - while fantastic if that's what you're into - would not typically be useful as a mental health treatment

      It’s most definitely Cognitive Behavioral Therapy https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_behavioral_therapy https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_behavioral_therapy
