Rootd gives you tools to manage panic attacks and anxiety as they happen — a quick-access panic button, calming breathing and visualization exercises, mood tracking and journaling, and resources to ground yourself. Great for sudden panic, chronic anxiety, or stress, but not a replacement for therapy or medical treatment in serious mental health conditions.
