On a Final Note

Thanks to our ever-evolving technology and awareness of mindfulness, there are many apps available for the zen master. However, even if such apps are made for the mind and relaxation, it’s not a direct medical cure for mental instability. Consulting professionals and seeking comfort from friends are still the best remedies.
