MindWell — I Built a Free Mental Health Platform Because Therapy Shouldn't Cost $200/Session

#webdev

The Problem

1 in 4 people will experience mental health issues. But therapy costs $100-300/session. Many people — especially students and young professionals — can't afford it.

I built MindWell to provide free, private mental health tools that anyone can use.

What It Does

Mood Tracking — Log your mood daily with AI-powered insights
Self-Assessment — PHQ-9 and GAD-7 based screenings for depression and anxiety
Guided Mindfulness — Meditation and breathing exercises
Therapeutic Tools — Journaling, CBT exercises, thought reframing
PWA Support — Install it on your phone like a native app
100% Private — All data stays on your device

Tech Stack

Next.js + TypeScript — Full-stack React framework
Tailwind CSS — Beautiful, accessible design
PWA — Works offline, installable
Open Source — MIT License

Why Open Source?

Mental health tools shouldn't be paywalled. MindWell is free, open-source, and privacy-first. No accounts required. No data collection. Just tools that help.

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/rudra496/mindwell.git
cd mindwell
npm install
npm run dev

GitHub: github.com/rudra496/mindwell

If mental health matters to you, give it a star and help spread the word.
