Catch Depression Before You Crash
Get warned 1-2 weeks before depressive episodes hit. AI-powered early detection identifies your warning signs, tracks what triggers relapses, and shows which interventions actually prevent full spirals—so you can fight back while you still have energy.
Tired of Depression Hitting Out of Nowhere?
You're doing everything your doctor says. Taking meds, going to therapy, trying to stay active. But depression still creeps back. By the time you realize it's happening, you're already too deep to fight back effectively.
Blindsided by Relapses
You thought you were doing fine. Then one day you wake up and realize you've been spiraling for weeks without noticing.
What Even Triggered This?
Depression seems random. You can't predict it or prevent it. All you can do is survive until it passes.
Too Late to Stop It
By the time you recognize you're depressed, you don't have the energy to do the things that would help.
You deserve early warning.
What if you could see depression coming 1-2 weeks early—while you still have the energy to fight back?

How People Use Lifelight
Real scenarios where early warning makes all the difference
Medication Management
"My antidepressant stopped working after 6 months. Lifelight detected the pattern 3 weeks before I crashed. I had time to see my psychiatrist, adjust medication, and avoid a full relapse. The app's data convinced my doctor to act quickly."
Seasonal Patterns
"I have seasonal depression but never knew exactly when it would hit. Lifelight identified my pattern: mid-October, when daylight drops below 11 hours. Now I start light therapy and increase therapy sessions in early October—before depression hits."
Postpartum Depression Monitoring
"After my first baby, PPD hit hard and I didn't recognize it for months. With my second baby, Lifelight tracked my mood from day one. When warning signs appeared at week 3, my OB intervened immediately. I got treatment before it became severe."
Bipolar Depression Tracking
"With bipolar II, I need to catch depressive episodes early without triggering mania. Lifelight tracks my cycles and helps me time interventions perfectly—increasing therapy without overdoing antidepressants. My psychiatrist loves having this data."
Real People, Real Prevention
Discover how Lifelight users catch depression early—and take their lives back.
"The app detected warning signs 10 days before what would have been a severe episode. I had time to call my therapist, adjust my schedule, and increase self-care. For the first time in my life, I stopped a depressive spiral before it started. This app is life-changing."
"I've been tracking my depression for 6 months. The AI identified patterns I never would have seen: my episodes are triggered by poor sleep + social conflict + skipping exercise 3+ days in a row. Now I know exactly what to monitor and prevent. Haven't had a full relapse since."
"My psychiatrist says this is the best mood tracking data she's ever seen from a patient. We can clearly see when medication is working, when it's not, and what environmental factors affect me most. Treatment decisions are so much more informed now."
Common Questions
Everything you need to know about depression spiral prevention
How can an app detect depression before I fully crash?+
Lifelight tracks subtle changes in your language patterns, sleep quality, social engagement, activity levels, and emotional tone over time. The AI recognizes the early warning signs of a depressive episode—like increased isolation, negative thought patterns, or energy drops—often 1-2 weeks before you consciously realize you're slipping. This gives you a critical window to intervene with strategies that have worked for you before.
What if I'm already depressed? Can this still help?+
Absolutely. Even within depression, there are patterns and cycles. Lifelight helps you understand what makes episodes worse versus better, track medication effectiveness, identify your specific triggers for deeper spirals, and most importantly—provides evidence of micro-improvements that depression makes invisible. Seeing data that shows 'you had 3 okay hours today vs. 0 yesterday' can be the hope you need to keep going.
Can this replace my antidepressants or therapy?+
No, Lifelight is designed to enhance—not replace—professional treatment. Think of it as a 24/7 mood and pattern tracking system that makes your medication management and therapy sessions far more effective. Many psychiatrists and therapists actively recommend pattern tracking because it provides concrete data about what's working, what's not, and when interventions are needed. It helps you and your care team make better treatment decisions.
How is this different from just tracking my mood daily?+
Traditional mood tracking captures a snapshot but misses the pattern. Lifelight analyzes trends across weeks and months, correlates your mood with specific life circumstances, identifies early warning patterns unique to YOUR depression, and most critically—shows you what interventions actually help versus make things worse. It's the difference between knowing 'I feel bad today' and understanding 'I'm entering the early stages of a depressive episode based on 5 converging warning signs, and increasing social contact usually helps me most at this stage.'
What if depression makes me too tired to journal?+
Lifelight is built for depression brain. Quick voice memos (30 seconds), simple emoji mood ratings, or even just selecting from pre-written prompts counts as tracking. The AI extracts insights from minimal input. Plus, decreasing journal frequency itself is a warning sign the app can detect. That said, when you CAN journal during better periods, it gives the AI more data to help you during harder times.
Can it track different types of depression?+
Yes. Whether you experience major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder, seasonal affective disorder, postpartum depression, or depression as part of bipolar disorder, Lifelight adapts to your specific pattern. You can tag different depression types and track their distinct triggers, warning signs, and what helps each type. The AI learns YOUR unique depressive patterns, not generic templates.
