Leo/Features/Mental Health

Mental health. The episodes, the patterns, the moments you need a small tool now.

Five condition hubs. Eight in-the-moment tools. Structured symptom and side-effect logs. Mood tracking. One-tap crisis resources. Built for the conversation with your therapist, not as a replacement for one.

The toolkit

One scope of work — make the month visible.

Roughly 22.8% of US adults experience some form of mental illness in any given year — about 59 million people. Most of them aren't in weekly therapy, and even those who are spend the other 167 hours a week trying to remember which days were rough and why.

Leo doesn't diagnose, doesn't prescribe, doesn't interpret. It records — episodes, moods, symptoms, side effects, the things that helped — so when you sit down with your therapist or psychiatrist, you have something better than “rough month” to work from.

The condition hubs

Five dedicated hubs — each with its own UI.

Each condition gets its own home screen — not a generic “mental health” bucket. The log fields, the hub stats, and the in-the-moment tools surfaced are picked per condition, because what matters in an OCD log isn't what matters in a PTSD one.

All 24 condition packs in Leo work this way — the mental-health five are part of a wider catalog of per-condition hubs.
In the moment

Eight small tools — open them when the wave hits.

These aren't therapy. They're short, structured surfaces for moments when you need something simple to do. They live in the Mental Health Tools menu and across the Anxiety, OCD, PTSD, Depression, and ADHD hubs. Each finishes in under three minutes.

Breathing exercises · 3 presets

Box (4-4-4-4), 4-7-8 relaxation, and Calming (4-6). Visual breathing-circle pacing with optional haptic guidance — eyes-closed-friendly. Each cycle shows the current phase and cycle count.

5-4-3-2-1 Grounding

Sensory grounding for dissociation, panic onset, or intrusive spirals. See 5, touch 4, hear 3, smell 2, taste 1.

Worry Dump

Externalize anxious thoughts as their own list. Mark resolved when the catastrophe didn't happen. Hub shows resolution rate over time.

Urge Tracker

Log urges with intensity, trigger, and whether you acted. Built around OCD compulsion patterns but works for any urge.

Letter to Self

Write compassionate messages to past- or future-you. Templates for grief, milestones, hard days. Optional re-read reminders.

Symptoms + side effects

Structured logs for 40+ symptoms and 40+ side effects.

Every mental-health symptom in the catalog — depression, anxiety, panic, intrusive thoughts, dissociation, hypervigilance, and more — has its own log surface. The fields capture severity, duration, triggers, coping, functional impact, and whether a medication felt connected to the episode.

Side-effect tracking covers the other half — 40+ entries from nausea and brain fog to emotional numbness and akathisia. Each logged side effect captures frequency, severity (1–10), timing pattern, daily-life impact, what coping helped, and whether it was discussed with your provider.

What gets captured
  • · Severity 1–10 with timestamp
  • · Duration in minutes / hours
  • · Triggers (multi-select + free-text)
  • · Coping strategies tried and whether they helped
  • · Physical manifestations
  • · Sleep + appetite impact
  • · Work / social / self-care functioning
  • · Medication correlation flag
Side-effect log

Specific to psychiatric medication monitoring: timing relative to the dose, what coping strategies helped, whether benefits still outweigh, and tolerability tracked over weeks instead of a single visit's memory.

Symptom and side-effect entries are linked: a log can flag a suspected medication connection, and the symptom view can filter to entries since the most recent dose change.
Mood + emotions

Mood logged with shape — not just a number.

Every emotion entry captures intensity (1–10), the mood itself, plus optional triggers, physical sensations, thoughts, behaviors, coping strategies, and what kind of support you wanted. Custom moods are supported when the preset list doesn't fit you.

The hub view summarizes — distribution across mood categories, your top moods this month, a weekly streak — without inventing trends or projecting where you're “heading”. Leo doesn't forecast your week.

Right after you log a mood, Leo offers to journal about it — the entry opens already carrying the feeling and whatever triggers or thoughts you noted, so you can just keep writing. The journal itself includes guided reflection formats — a gentle thought-reframe walk-through, self-compassion, specific gratitude, after-therapy notes — alongside a blank page when you'd rather just write. No titles required, no word counts staring back at you, and a daily prompt when you're not sure where to start. Reflection, not assessment — there are no scores or screeners.

If you're in crisis

Always one tap away — built into the app and onto this page.

Every mental-health surface in Leo — every tool, every log entry screen, every hub — surfaces these four resources in one tap. They're not hidden in a settings menu. Here they are on this page too.

Numbers shown are US resources. Crisis Text Line additionally serves CA, UK, and IE. Outside those regions, dial your country's emergency number.
Honest scope

What this is — and what it isn't.

Mental-health surfaces are the area we're most conservative about, and we want the boundary explicit on the page where you're deciding whether to trust the app with this part of your life.

What it is for
  • ◦ isA structured record of your episodes, moods, symptoms, and side effects, between sessions.
  • ◦ isA set of short, in-the-moment tools (breathing, grounding, worry dump, urge tracker, letter to self) to open when you need something simple to do.
  • ◦ isA hub view that summarizes what you logged — counts, distributions, top triggers, top coping actions — in a way you can show your therapist or psychiatrist.
  • ◦ isA reminder that crisis lines are 988 (call/text), Crisis Text Line (HOME to 741741), SAMHSA (1-800-662-4357), and 911.
What it isn't
  • ◦ notA diagnostic tool — Leo does not classify your disorder, score you on a PHQ-9 / GAD-7, or interpret severity for you.
  • ◦ notA replacement for therapy, a psychiatrist, or a crisis service.
  • ◦ notA predictor — there are no forecasts of future flares, panic attacks, depressive episodes, or any other event.
  • ◦ notAn AI coach — there is no generative model anywhere in the app. No chatbot, no “ask Leo,” no personalized suggestions generated from a model.
  • ◦ notA cross-user leaderboard — your data is yours, and there is no ranking against anyone else.
If something you read on this page contradicts those lines, the line above wins. Tell us what we wrote that didn't hold up — support@leomindbody.com.

Leo is a tracking and journaling companion. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition, and it is not a substitute for medical or mental-health care. The tools on this page support the work you do with your clinician — they do not replace it.

If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 (US Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), text HOME to 741741 (Crisis Text Line), or call 911.
