Journaling Tool Study

Journaling For Depression / Journaling For Mania

Journalism is a great way to get our thoughts onto paper. It gives us a sense of control and calmness once we write it down. This tool is very useful and used by many who are under Depression and Mania. Studies have shown it to have positive results in curing their state of minds.

We have been studying how effective Journaling is and have so far learned some very interesting things. While many people rave about the difference Journaling has made, when we dig a little deeper we find that how one uses the tool has a major effect on how well it works.

Please take a couple of minutes to answer the following questions about how you are using Journaling as a tool. Our hope is that by answering a few simple questions you will learn more about how to use the tool yourself, but also that what you share can benefit others when we compile all of the information we gather.

The study is completely anonymous. We do not even ask who you are or any identifying information. Please fill out the questionnaire below right away and thank you in advance for helping us with our study of Journaling as a tool for depression, mania, and mixed states.
