Effective January 1, 2026. Plain language on purpose. These terms cover your use of the psychiatry.help website, including reading, linking, quoting, contacting us, commenting, and automated access.
Last updated June 27, 2026.
Read, link, quote with attribution
Normal reading, linking, search indexing, citation, and short attributed quotation are allowed.
No emergency or care messages here
Website forms and comments are not crisis lines, refill lines, patient portals, or treatment relationships.
Do not degrade service
Crawling must respect robots, llms.txt, rate limits, attribution, and the basic rule that the site needs to keep working.
Do not turn education into advice
Bulk republishing, unattributed reuse, or presenting our content as a private treatment plan needs permission.
Who runs this site
psychiatry.help is operated by LiveWell, LLC, a psychiatry and men's health clinic in Oregon and Washington. The writing here is educational and editorially independent. The site is not the clinic, and reading it does not make you a patient (see the medical disclaimer).
Educational, not medical advice
Everything on this site is general information. It is not a diagnosis, not a treatment plan, and not a substitute for talking to your own clinician about your own situation. If you are in crisis, call 988 or go to an emergency room.
Using the contact form
The contact form is a referral inquiry. It goes to LiveWell's care coordination team, who check whether you qualify (benefits, condition, age, and so on) to be seen by one of our specialists. If you're not a fit, they make every effort to refer you to someone better suited to help. Keep it to a short note about what is going on, and do not put detailed medical history into the form.
What you send us
If you submit a patient inquiry, editorial note, correction, comment, or contributor pitch, you are responsible for what you choose to include. Do not send emergency messages through website forms. Do not send highly detailed medical history unless the form specifically asks for it. If you send a correction or source question, include the page URL and enough context for us to check the issue without guessing.
Corrections and editorial requests
We welcome factual corrections, broken-source reports, accessibility reports, and questions about whether a page is outdated or unclear. Sending a correction does not guarantee that we will make the exact edit requested, but it does mean we will review the issue in good faith. We may update wording, add context, change a source, narrow a claim, or leave the page as is if the current wording is still supported.
Things you may not do
Do not scrape the site in a way that degrades service, copy full articles into another product, remove attribution, impersonate a clinician, use the site to give medical advice to someone else, or present our educational content as if it were a private treatment plan. Short quotations with attribution are fine. Bulk reuse, commercial republishing, or use in ads needs permission first.
Search, AI, and automated access
We want accurate mental-health education to be discoverable in search engines and AI answer systems. Normal crawling by search engines, AI search crawlers, citation systems, accessibility tools, and archival tools is allowed when it respects robots.txt, llms.txt, rate limits, attribution, and ordinary site stability. Automated access that hammers the server, bypasses reasonable limits, republishes full articles without permission, strips authorship, or turns public education into private medical advice is not allowed.
Comments
If comments are open, keep them civil and on topic. We moderate, and we remove spam, abuse, and anything that looks like a medical emergency posted in public. Do not share private health details in a comment, and do not treat replies as medical advice for your situation.
Our content
The writing, images, and other material here are original to their authors and protected by copyright. You are welcome to read it and link to it. Please do not republish whole articles or reproduce the material elsewhere without permission.
Links to other sites
We link out to journals, the FDA, the NIH, professional societies, and other sources. Once you click through, you are on someone else's site under their terms, and we are not responsible for their content.
No warranties, and your own judgment
We're here to give you the info, not guarantees. We work to keep it accurate and current, but medicine changes and mistakes happen, so we cannot promise that every page is complete or error free. Decisions about your health belong with a licensed clinician who knows your case. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for choices made based on reading this site.
Changes to these terms
If these terms change, we update this page and move the effective date at the top.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to conflict of law rules.
