The Shrink Network is a group of independent properties that exist for different reasons. Clinical care, education, wellness tools, structured programs, and publishing are kept legally and operationally separate so each property can do its one job well.
Clinical care
shrinkMD (shrinkmd.com) is the network's psychiatric practice. It provides evaluations, diagnosis, medication management, and follow-up care through licensed clinicians. shrinkMD is the property in the network that delivers medical care; the other properties do not.
Education
The educational properties are reference publications. They explain and inform. They do not diagnose, treat, or replace a clinician.
- Shrinkopedia, the central mental health knowledge graph and encyclopedia
- Shrinktionary, a plain-language mental health glossary
- AnxietyResource, anxiety education for the general public
- DepressionResource, a depression education library
- PsychiatryRx, a psychiatric and sleep medication reference
- AnxietyResearch, research translation for anxiety
Wellness tools
Unstuck (beunstuck.app) is a private, local-first wellness app for resets, focus, sleep, reflection, and small next steps. It is not therapy and not a medical device.
Programs
shrinQ (shrinq.com) is a structured, self-guided educational program for overthinking, anxiety, rumination, and burnout. It is not therapy, diagnosis, or treatment.
Publishing
Books by Shariq Refai, MD, MBA are published by shrinkMD Publishing, LLC. Titles and ordering are listed at shariqrefai.com/books.
Authority hub
ShariqRefai.com is the public-facing author and physician site for Dr. Refai. It carries biography, media, speaking, books, and essays.
Why these are separate
Mental health care, mental health education, and mental health products are not the same thing. Treating them as the same is how readers end up confused or sold something they did not come for. Each property in the network has its own purpose, its own privacy policy, and its own legal terms. The network does not hide the relationship: Dr. Refai's role and any financial interest are disclosed on the disclosures page.
ShrinkNetwork.com
This site, ShrinkNetwork.com, is the front door. It does not sell anything, does not run advertising, and earns no commission from any link to a property in the network.
