nily

If you or someone else may be in immediate danger, call India's emergency number 112 now or go to the nearest emergency department. For free 24×7 mental-health support, call Tele-MANAS at 14416 or 1-800-891-4416. Nily is not a crisis service.

Mental wellbeing support that starts with how you are doing today

Nily offers a private mental-wellbeing pathway: check-ins for mood, stress, sleep and daily functioning, with an appropriate next step when a pattern deserves attention. Mental wellbeing can change through sleep, stress, relationships, work, health, hormones, caregiving, loss and many other parts of life. A difficult day is not a diagnosis—but persistent distress, changes in functioning or thoughts of harm deserve attention.

Nily helps you record mood, stress, sleep and daily functioning, use structured check-ins and choose an appropriate next step. That may be a self-guided routine, a conversation with someone you trust, an available professional pathway or immediate human support.

For people looking for a mental health app in India, Nily offers a private mental-wellbeing pathway for check-ins, mood and stress patterns, and appropriate next steps. A mental health check-in can help you describe how you have been feeling, but it is not a diagnosis, emergency response or substitute for individualized care.

The Nily app is free to use and no card is required to begin—your responses stay private and are never sold to advertisers. The most private questions, answered in private — from home.

A check-in or screening score is not a diagnosis. Nily does not provide emergency monitoring, crisis counselling or automated treatment.

What is a mental wellbeing check-in?

A mental wellbeing check-in is a private, structured way to record mood, stress, sleep and daily functioning. It is not a diagnosis. Nily uses check-ins and validated screeners such as PHQ-9 and GAD-7 to help you notice patterns and choose an appropriate next step—self-guided, professional or urgent support.

Some people search for an emotional wellness app; Nily uses the term mental wellbeing to keep the experience clear and non-clinical, whatever term brought you here.

You do not need the perfect words to begin

People often wait because they are unsure whether what they feel is “serious enough.” You can begin by recording what has changed: mood, worry, sleep, appetite, concentration, motivation, energy, irritability, connection with others and the effect on daily responsibilities.

The purpose is not to label every emotion as illness. It is to notice when a pattern is continuing, affecting your life or becoming unsafe—and to make the next action clearer.

Mood and interest

Record low mood, emotional numbness, loss of interest or moments of relief without treating one entry as a diagnosis.

Worry and physical tension

Notice recurring worry, restlessness, irritability, tension or difficulty switching off. Similar experiences can have different causes and may require individual evaluation.

Sleep and daily rhythm

Track sleep timing, restfulness and daytime functioning. A sleep tracker can show a pattern; it cannot identify every medical or psychological cause.

Functioning and connection

Notice whether it is becoming harder to work, study, care for yourself, manage responsibilities or stay connected with others. Changes in functioning can be important even when a score appears modest.

Choose a starting point

Private mental wellbeing check-in

A short reflection on mood, stress, sleep, energy and daily functioning. It can help you decide whether to continue tracking, try a supportive routine or seek human support. See the questions and how each response is used before you begin—use it once or as a daily mental health check-in, whichever fits your routine. Some people return every day to watch their mood over time; others check in once and move on. Start the Mental Wellbeing Check-In

Depression screening with PHQ-9

The PHQ-9 is a structured depression screener. It can indicate symptom burden that may deserve further assessment, but it does not establish a diagnosis or replace professional evaluation. Any response indicating thoughts of self-harm or being better off dead immediately interrupts the ordinary flow and shows urgent human-support options—never used for advertising, lead scoring or a paywall decision. Use the PHQ-9 Depression Screener

Anxiety screening with GAD-7

The GAD-7 organizes commonly reported anxiety symptoms over a defined period. A result can support reflection or a professional conversation; it cannot identify every anxiety-related condition or rule out physical causes. Use the GAD-7 Anxiety Screener

Stress check

Review perceived stress, recovery, demands and current support without treating stress as a personal failure. Use it as a stress tracker app to notice patterns over time. Use the Stress Check

Sleep and mood check

Explore whether changes in sleep and mood are occurring together and identify questions worth discussing. A tracked association is not proof of causation. Use the Sleep and Mood Check

Postpartum wellbeing check-in

Reflect on mood, anxiety, sleep, support and functioning during the postpartum period. Urgent or frightening thoughts require prompt human assessment, not an app response. Start the Postpartum Wellbeing Check-In

How the Nily mental wellbeing pathway works

Step 1

Check in privately

Choose a brief daily check-in or a structured screener. Nily should explain why each question is asked and how the response is used before collection.

Step 2

Receive a clear, non-diagnostic summary

Review the reported symptom range, relevant limitations and suggested next steps. A score must never be presented as a definitive diagnosis, personality label or prognosis.

Step 3

Track only what helps

Record selected signals such as mood, stress, sleep, energy, routines, symptoms and functioning. You can stop or change trackers; the experience should not punish missed entries.

Step 4

Use an appropriate support level

Depending on your context, continue a self-guided routine, explore the mental wellbeing program, speak with a trusted person, access an available professional pathway or use urgent support.

Step 5

Review and escalate when needed

Patterns, worsening symptoms, impaired functioning or safety concerns may mean that self-guided support is not enough. Nily must make human and emergency options visible at the point of need.

The Nily mental wellbeing program

The program is designed to support regular reflection and practical routines around mood, stress, sleep, connection and daily functioning. It may include:

  • Brief check-ins that take minutes rather than becoming another burden.
  • Structured education written in plain, non-stigmatizing language.
  • Grounding, breathing, journaling and routine-building exercises.
  • Sleep, movement and connection prompts that can be adapted to daily capacity.
  • Pattern reviews that avoid turning a difficult day into failure.
  • Clear boundaries for when professional or urgent human support may be more appropriate.

The program does not provide crisis response, diagnosis, psychotherapy, psychiatric treatment or prescription management unless a separately defined professional service explicitly includes it.

Different needs require different support

Self-guided support may be a reasonable starting point when

  • You want to understand everyday mood, stress, sleep or routine patterns.
  • Symptoms feel manageable and you can continue normal responsibilities.
  • You want practical wellbeing exercises and a clearer record.
  • You know how to access human support if the situation changes.

Consider professional support when

  • Distress persists, returns frequently or is worsening.
  • Sleep, appetite, concentration, work, study, caregiving or relationships are being affected.
  • Panic, intrusive thoughts, trauma-related symptoms, substance use or major mood changes are difficult to manage.
  • You are concerned about symptoms during pregnancy or after childbirth.
  • You want individual evaluation, counselling, psychological therapy or medical advice.

Use urgent human support now when

  • You may harm yourself or someone else.
  • You do not feel able to stay safe.
  • You are experiencing severe confusion, loss of contact with reality or frightening commands or beliefs.
  • There is an immediate threat, medical emergency or rapidly escalating crisis.

Call 112 for an emergency. Call Tele-MANAS at 14416 or 1-800-891-4416 for free 24×7 mental-health support. If possible, move near a trusted person and away from immediate means of harm while help is being contacted.

Mental wellbeing across different health journeys

Women's health and hormonal context

Mood, sleep and stress can change around menstrual symptoms, fertility experiences, pregnancy, postpartum recovery and chronic health concerns. Nily connects mental wellbeing with the women's health hub without assuming a hormonal cause. Explore Women's Health

Postpartum wellbeing

Pregnancy, birth and early parenthood can bring major emotional and practical change. Persistent low mood, severe anxiety, frightening thoughts, confusion or inability to function require prompt human assessment. Explore Postpartum Wellbeing

Metabolic health and weight-related distress

Body image, appetite, treatment burden, stigma and long-term health concerns can affect wellbeing. Support must remain respectful and must not use shame as motivation. Explore Metabolic Health

Living with an ongoing health condition

Tracking symptoms, medicines, appointments and uncertainty can become emotionally demanding. Nily can help organize the record while recognizing that human support may also be needed.

Privacy protections for mental-health information

Mood entries, screening responses, journal text, safety responses and inferred mental-health information are highly sensitive. Nily should minimize collection, separate health consent from marketing permission and restrict access according to role and purpose.

Screening answers—including any response about self-harm—must never be sent to advertising platforms, remarketing tools, heatmaps, session replay, general-purpose analytics or sales lead scoring. This is a privacy-first pathway, built around honest limits rather than a data-collection funnel.

For privacy, product or support questions, email care@nily.health. Email is not monitored as an emergency or crisis channel.

Frequently asked questions

Is Nily a mental-health diagnosis app?

No. Nily provides tracking, educational check-ins, screening tools and care-navigation support. A diagnosis requires assessment by an appropriately qualified professional.

Is the mental wellbeing check-in private?

Nily should explain the purpose and handling of responses before collection and apply the privacy and access controls described in its current policies. Do not use the check-in for an emergency; use immediate human support instead.

What is the difference between a check-in and a screening test?

A check-in helps you reflect on how you are doing today. A structured screener asks standardized questions over a defined period and produces a limited result that may help guide the next conversation. Neither is a diagnosis.

What does a PHQ-9 score mean?

The score summarizes self-reported depressive symptoms within the screener's timeframe. It may indicate that further assessment is appropriate, but it cannot establish a diagnosis or determine treatment on its own.

What does a GAD-7 score mean?

The score summarizes selected anxiety symptoms within the screener’s timeframe. It does not diagnose every anxiety-related condition or rule out medical, medicine-related or situational causes.

What happens if I report thoughts of self-harm?

The ordinary assessment flow must stop and show immediate human-support options. Nily must not place emergency guidance behind login, payment or an automated chat. If danger is immediate, call 112. For 24×7 mental-health support in India, call Tele-MANAS at 14416 or 1-800-891-4416.

Is Nily an alternative to a psychologist or psychiatrist?

No. Nily can support reflection, routines and preparation, but it does not replace individual counselling, psychological therapy, psychiatric evaluation or medical treatment.

Can Nily recommend psychiatric medicine?

No automated Nily result should select, start, stop or change psychiatric medicine. Those decisions require an appropriately qualified prescriber and individual evaluation.

Can I use Nily for postpartum mental health?

You can use relevant check-ins and tracking, but postpartum mental-health concerns can require prompt professional care. Frightening thoughts, severe confusion, major behavioural change or inability to stay safe require urgent human assessment.

Does Nily guarantee access to a mental-health professional?

No. Professional type, availability, service scope and suitability can vary. Current information and price must be displayed before any booking or payment.

Can my employer, family or advertiser see my screening answers?

Nily's product must apply purpose-specific access and consent controls. Sensitive answers must not be disclosed to an employer, family member or advertiser merely because they use, pay for or promote another Nily service. Review the current privacy notice for legally applicable exceptions and user-authorized sharing.
