Depression Treatable with an App?

As a society of today, depression has become an increasing problem in the world; with the stress of life teenagers and adults sometimes have depression. While living in the digital age of technology there are almost apps for anything including apps for depression and therapy online. From one view B.I.T(behavioral intervention technologies) use interactive features that can identify negative patterns in the brain and challenge them. For this to work through the user must keep using this constantly just like going into therapy and the B.I.T will be a support coach. B.I.T has been integrated into many health care systems, but with any app how will they design it. Apps can be beneficial because 80% of people that have mental health disorders don't receive treatment and apps can be a more cost-effective choice rather than paying for a therapist. A problem for this is in the quality of the thousands of apps out there and there haven't been any standards for B.I.T certification as well. Another point of view is that people don't like long term therapy and people want instant gratification. If they use the app then it will put them in a state that everything is under control, but pain is something that needs to be addressed and a robot can't really do that like a human can. Apps could prevent people from getting the help they need and insurance companies will cut costs for mental health benefits.  On this subject, apps can help drastically for people with depression, but it wouldn't replace actually face to face interaction which has been proven to be more effective. How can this be put into the U.S health care system which uses a fee-for-service type of method? Would you rather have face to face therapy or the app to help with mental health disorders such as depression? Should we push insurance to put more mental health benefits and look into other ways to help those?
