Do you have any questions?

Is Flow safe to use?

Does Flow help with anxiety?

Anxiety is commonly associated with depression, and many Flow users report improvements in both anxiety and mood.
Each week, Flow users complete a questionnaire, and about 66% report reduced feelings of unease after just three weeks of use*.
Since Flow hasn’t been tested as a standalone treatment for anxiety, we recommend it for anxiety relief only if you have depression too.

* Flow real-world data (n=14,383, Apr 2025)

How long should I use Flow for?

Will Flow work for me?

77% of Flow users experience clinical improvement within three weeks*, and in our clinical trial, 57% were completely free of depression after ten weeks**.
This means that Flow works for most people, but since everyone’s brain chemistry and response to treatment are unique, some people may not respond to Flow. Most people will know if Flow is working for them by the end of three weeks.
If it’s not the right fit, you can return it for a full refund under our 30-day money-back guarantee.
