App for managing emotions and reducing risky behaviors in young adults
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests a smartphone app called PsyPills that helps you manage emotions and reduce risky behaviors. If you're a young adult who sometimes struggles with intense feelings and has taken risks like drinking or impulsive actions, this app might teach you healthier coping skills.
