Health Data Export Doesn't Include Logged Emotions/Moods

I recently exported my Apple Health Data to try to run some more advanced analyses than what is available in the Health app. However, I specifically want to look at changes in my mood over time, I've been logging my daily and occasionally momentary emotions in the health app. But in the exported XMLs I've searched for anything related to state of mind logging. And on the developer documentation is seems like it should be logged as HKStateOfMind. But there are no results.

My question is: how can I find my state of mind in the health data exports? If it isn't included I suspect that is an oversight on the developer team. Is there anyway to get that fixed?

Thank you.

I have come to the same conclusion. Even went through all entries containing the current date to find the "state of mind" data, but to no avail. It would be great if those data could be added to the export somehow.

I appreciate your response, however, it doesn't address the problem I have.

I am able to use access the data in the XML and can convert its format or read the data with Python.

But my problem is that the State of Mind data from the Apple Health app. The feature where you log your daily mood/emotions. Is seemingly missing from the data export.

I don't know if I am just overlooking it because it goes by a different name. Or if that data is just not included in the export, which would be an oversight on Apple's part.

Extract data from the XML file, convert it to CSV format, and then import the CSV into a spreadsheet for analysis.
