The psychTracker Journaling system is a unique journaling and charting system designed to help you track your moods and symptoms along with the environmental factors that affect them.

When used consistently, this system can be of tremendous help in managing your symptoms and can act as a tool to help in the therapeutic process. One thing you’ll notice about this system is the adaptability it offers. For example, the daily charting boxes offer several different ways to track your symptoms. Feel free to adapt and use the system in the ways that will best help you.
