IMAGEAsk HN: Navigating a messy mindMy mind is a mess and I'm wondering if HN has any tips, experiences, advice, etc. to share!My mental health has improved significantly over the past 10 years, but as the depression lifted and as I gained more mental clarity, I'm finding myself still struggling with some persistent patterns of thought and behaviour (potentially neurodivergent ones) that are hindering my ability to progress further in life.I'll give some examples, though it's quite complicated to describe as a lot of these patterns are very paradoxical.- I'm reliant on routines and predictability to feel calm and settled, while at the same time desire personal freedom and autonomy, in that I really dislike following someone else's structure/rules and don't like being controlled, micromanaged, watched.- I have a strong aversion to discipline, and can never get any productivity/organizational methods to work. The act of trying gives me anxiety, makes me feel very detached from myself, and zaps all creativity/authenticity/e

IMAGELaunch HN: Iona Mind (YC S21) – App-based cognitive behavioural therapyHi HN, we’re Iona Mind. We provide app-based mental health support, with a focus on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).Mental healthcare is difficult for many people to access, whether because of cost, stigma or waiting times. According to a recent pre-covid study in England [1] 18% of people are experiencing a mental health issue, yet only 5% actually access help through an employer’s assistance plan (if one even exists) [2] . The majority suffer in silence. In addition to the human cost, there are significant economic costs. In the U.S., mental health issues cost employers thousands of dollars per employee per year in medical costs and lost productivity [3].At our previous company, we lost a colleague to suicide. Since then we’ve been on a mission to bring evidence-based mental healthcare to as many people as possible. We were surprised to find that Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is backed by over 30 years of research, and over 250 meta-analyses [4], yet remains difficult for people
