MENLO PARK, Calif., April 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- At a time when the World Health Organization announces that depression tops the list of ill health conditions, the Abide mobile app built by Carpenters Code reports that their guided Christian meditation platform is helping 4 million users in 210 countries alleviate their depression, anxiety and day-to-day worries. For more than a year, the fast growing mobile app has been ranked in the Top 10 by iTunes for the search term "depression." Abide users report that the guided meditations help them calm down wherever they are, regardless of the time they may have.

The first step The World Health Organization recommends for recovery of depression is to speak to someone they trust. Meditation, a long held Christian tradition to connect with God, is making a big comeback through the Abide mobile application. Abide reaches millions daily through their partners, the YouVersion Bible app and Christian radio station KLOVE, and tracks more than 15,000 new downloads per month for the past two years.

"Christian meditation is one of the best ways to fight depression, the world's leading illness, which often can go untreated," said Neil Ahlsten, co-founder of Carpenters Code. "Our guided meditation app is designed to meet the often very private needs of people in the midst of very busy lives. Our users report that Abide helps them find pockets of time to connect with God for peace and stability in their lives."
