How we curate this site

Where our information comes from, how it's reviewed, and how to flag anything that's wrong.

Where our information comes from

Every clinical fact here is drawn from trusted public-health authorities — SAMHSA, the National Institutes of Health (NIDA, NIAAA, NIMH), the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, the National Eating Disorders Association, the National Council on Problem Gambling, and the American Psychological Association — and cited on the page where it appears.

How our pages are made

Facts, treatment listings, and crisis resources are assembled from those authorities. Explanatory text is drafted with the help of AI tools and then edited; clinical and crisis content is reviewed by a licensed clinician before it is published. We do not invent statistics or medical claims.

Crisis content

Pages about suicide and eating disorders follow established safe-messaging guidance, carry no advertising, and always lead with how to get help.

Corrections

If something here is inaccurate or out of date, please tell us through our contact page and we will correct it.

How we stay independent

Crisis resources are never paid placements. Any future advertising will be clearly labeled, charged as flat fees, and never tied to patient referrals.
