Okay, I'm stretching the truth there a bit - it's not an application and it's not limited to those with THE Jesus Phone...

Depressed folk in Japan are now able to use the "world’s first online mobile psychotherapy service" thanks to Professor Yutaka Ohno of Keio University.

Basically it's a mobile website that asks visitors questions based on an I'll have to quote this as it's not er, my field of expertise... "the cognitive therapy approach to counselling and attempts to evaluate the degree and kind of depression they might be suffering from."

As you can see from the picture, my phone is a little down today. Well tough tomatoes, Mr Phone, I can't speak (nor read) a word of Japanese!
