“Depression and anxiety inhibits a person's ability to ask for help. Making it THIS easy IS necessary for many people.”
How it Started
After developing POTS, a condition that causes her to faint, then 15-year-old Hannah Lucas, was terrified of being alone. What would happen to her if she fainted and no one was around?
Hannah's fears quickly spiraled into anxiety and deep depression, which led to self harm. By the end of her freshman year of high school, she missed 196 classes due to her condition.
It was during one of Hannah’s lowest moments, alone in her room and contemplating self harm, when the idea for the notOK App™ was born. What if there was a button she could press and someone would immediately know she was not okay?
