An exercise your brain will thank you for
Like with physical therapy, exercises in Rejoyn may feel challenging, but that's ok! The exercises are designed to help the brain better process emotions.
It's not a competition—you don't need to take notes while doing the exercises. Instead, focus on using your memory to complete the exercises. You may feel uncertain or even discouraged after doing them. Remember, the goal isn't to get everything right. Just try your best with each task.
A schedule that works with you
Rejoyn has some flexibility. If you miss a day, the schedule will adapt so you can catch up. But exercises do expire at the end of each week, so you’ll need to complete them by then.
If you're worried about sticking with the schedule, it might help to know that in a clinical trial, nearly 9 out of 10 adults with depression who were also taking an antidepressant medication completed at least two-thirds of their sessions.

On average, people reported that Rejoyn reduced their depression severity from moderately severe to mild,* and clinicians reported that Rejoyn reduced depression severity from moderately ill to mildly ill.† During the month following treatment with Rejoyn, there was a trend toward continued improvement.
