ShrinkNetwork.com is primarily written for readers in the United States. Information may differ in other countries.
US focus
Content across the Shrink Network is written for a US audience. It references US crisis numbers such as 988 and 911, US clinical guidelines, US medication names, and the standards of US psychiatric practice.
Outside the United States
Mental health systems, medication regulations, professional licensure, diagnostic codes, and clinical recommendations vary by country. Information that's current and accurate for the US may be incorrect, incomplete, or unavailable in another country.
Crisis resources outside the US
If you're outside the US and need crisis help, contact your local emergency number and your country's mental health crisis line. The International Association for Suicide Prevention maintains a list of crisis centers worldwide at iasp.info, and you can find a local line at findahelpline.com.
Clinical care
shrinkMD, the clinical practice within the network, provides care only in jurisdictions where its clinicians are licensed. Educational content on ShrinkNetwork.com isn't a substitute for care from a clinician licensed in your own country.
