Optimism overview
Optimism is a mood chart app that helps you develop strategies to manage depression, bipolar or other physical and mental health conditions.
It can be customized completely to suit your specific circumstances, making it relevant to any health condition that affects (or is affected by) mood.
Optimism helps you to:
- Monitor and develop strategies, specific to yourself, that help you remain in good health.
- Grow in your understanding of "triggers" that affect you, and the early warning signs or symptoms of a decline in mental health.
- Find concrete starting points for discovering interactions between the factors that affect you. Charts and reports form a feedback loop, which helps you detect these interactions more easily.
- Develop a wellness plan that documents your strategies and appropriate steps in the event of illness. It can be easily and regularly updated as self-understanding increases.

Version: 3.8.4

Version: 3.8.4
v3.8.4 (still) crashes upon launch under Lion 10.7.4. Developer, while very responsive, pleads me wait to for the next one. App still tries to install background monitors I really do not wish to have happening without my permission.
What to say? A unique, well designed application hobbled by lack of ongoing support and continued subterfuge.

Version: 3.8.2
v3.8.2 crashes upon launch under OS X Lion 10.7.2. Developer has been notified, and has identified a point of failure. Too soon to see whether that will result in a version upgrade or a silent fix.

Version: 3.4.0
WARNING: this app tries its best to install a background startup application called "Optimism Agent" into your System. I suspect this enables its scheduling and web synching features. Call me paranoid, but I consider this an outrageous abuse of my licensing fee.
