Write for psychiatry.help

What we're looking for

Writing that sounds like a clinician actually talking to a patient in a room. Not pharma marketing. Not WebMD plain-English mush. Not LinkedIn thought-leader prose. The site has a voice. If you read a few posts and your reaction is "yeah, that's the version I'd say out loud," you'll probably fit.

Most of what we publish lives in one of these buckets:

• Medications. What the drug actually does, who it's for, what the side effect profile looks like in real practice, where the manufacturer marketing and the clinical experience don't line up.
• Conditions. Diagnostic explainers that read like an honest conversation, not a DSM checklist. How the diagnosis actually shows up in the room.
• Treatments. Therapy modalities, procedures, protocols. What the evidence supports, where it's overhyped, what the patient experience actually involves.
• Men's Health. The intersection of psychiatry with hormones, sleep, sexual function, addiction, and the rest of what shows up in real men's-health practice.
• Off Script. Opinion pieces. Critiques of the field. Cultural commentary on how mental health gets practiced and discussed. The harder takes.

Who's a fit

• You're licensed and currently practicing. MD, DO, DNP, PMHNP, PsyD, PhD (clinical), LMFT, LCSW, LPC, PA-C. Active license, active patient panel.
• You can stand behind your byline. Every post on this site is signed by the clinician who wrote it. We don't publish under pen names, we don't ghostwrite, and we don't let pharma or supplement companies shape content.
• You're comfortable with a real voice. Direct, plain-language, willing to disagree with mainstream takes when the evidence supports it. If your writing has to be defended at a hospital ethics committee word-for-word, this isn't the platform.
• You're okay with light editorial review. Posts get a clinical and voice pass before publishing. You'll see what changed, and you keep final approval on what runs.

What we won't publish

• Sponsored content. Pharma-funded content. Supplement marketing. Any of it, ever.
• Anonymous or pseudonymous work. The byline is part of the trust model.
• Diagnostic content written by someone who doesn't actually practice in that area.
• Pure marketing copy for your practice. If you want to talk about your clinical philosophy, that's content. If you want to advertise the practice, that's a different website.
• Material that's already been published somewhere else without exclusivity.
