What’s CoPow for Living?

Hi, I’m Dale. My patients know me as Dr. Anderson. I'm a clinical psychiatrist, and I'm developing a mental help app because I want to help people discover their cognitive power.

I was born and raised in North St. Louis, Missouri. Growing up, I was blessed with a dad who cared deeply about people. His desire to be helpful to other people went beyond personal relationships; he was a psychiatrist.

My dad found psychiatry in his mid-thirties working as a hospital microbiologist in St. Louis. He was inspired to go to medical school when he saw people in a public hospital who were suffering terribly, but who quickly started to feel better after talking with psychiatrist. He felt called to bring that same relief to others.

Eighteen years later, my dad’s example inspired me to start down the same professional path. I trained at Washington University, where I met a psychiatrist named George Murphy, M.D., who is internationally known for his research in su***de. He was there completing a study using words and ideas to help people feel better. It was called “cognitive therapy.”

Numerous medical studies have also demonstrated cognitive therapy’s effectiveness in relieving anxiety disorders, and after seeing it relieve depression so much faster than antidepressants, I’ve used it in my own practice ever since. I’ve seen it help people feel better when every antidepressant and mood stabilizer had failed.

In fact, life came around full circle. Years after my dad’s mission spurred me to follow him and learn about cognitive therapy, he had a severe heart attack that caused him to suffer with anxiety and depression. Thanks to his example and Dr. Murphy’s teaching, I was able to use the healing power of cognitive therapy to melt away my dad's anxiety and bring a smile of hope and relief to his face.

Since those early days I’ve seen thousands of people, including a member of my own family, experience renewed hope, calmness, and strength by learning how to use the simple techniques that help them harness the healing power of their own minds.

I believe that, through technology, much more can be done to help many more people than I can help one-to-one. That’s why I’m developing CoPow, which is short for “cognitive power”, or the power our minds have to produce healthier emotions.

I’m very hopeful that this app will make it possible for millions of people to experience the same benefits I’ve seen with so many of my patients as well as my family.

To bring CoPow to life, we'll need your help. Building an app takes a lot of money to cover design, buildout and release to market. I've found a developer to do the job, but we need the funds to build a good product that actually changes people's lives. Soon, we’ll be launching an Indiegogo page to help us bring the app to fruition.
