Select “Mental Wellbeing” from the Health Categories list.
Here, you’ll see a list of health-related metrics to track your mental health.
Take the Mental Health Questionnaire
The Mental Health Questionnaire is a good place to start.
For measuring anxiety levels, the app uses the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) questionnaire.
The number after the acronym signifies the number of questions in each test.
In the Mental Wellbeing section, tap the Anxiety Risk or Depression Risk button to take the relevant questionnaire.
Press “Begin” on the following screen.
Hit “Done” at the bottom.
Based on your responses, the app determines the anxiety or depression risk.
You will see one of the following indicators: Minimal, Mild, Moderate, or Severe.
If the results show Minimal risk, you need not worry about anything.
However, those who get Moderate or Severe should consider seeking help.
Users can also share their PHQ-9 or GAD-7 test results with the professional during the appointment.
In the Mental Wellbeing section, scroll down and tap “State of Mind.”
Hit “Get Started.”
Choose whether you want to log a momentary emotion or your overall mood on the following screen.
For this example, I’ve selected “How you feel right now.”
Hit “Next” at the bottom.
Drag the slider on the next screen toward “Very Unpleasant” or “Very Pleasant.”
Hit “Next” once you’re done.
Now grab the appropriate options under the question “What best describes this feeling?”
Hit “Next.”
Now answer, “What’s having the biggest impact on you?”
Select from the available options.
At this step, you’re free to leave additional context as well.
Once everything looks fine, tap “Done.”
The Health app will store the entry as a log.
Select Time In Daylight in the Mental Wellbeing section.
Tap “Add Data” in the top right corner.
Choose the starting and the end time.
Hit “Add” in the top right corner.
If not, you could go to Health > Browse > Sleep and set your schedule.
If you perform any such activity, you’re free to add that to the Health app manually.
The steps are similar to those of adding Time in Daylight.
All you oughta do is tap on them.
Further, all the sections explained in this article have a dedicated “About” section explaining their significance.
