Editorial policy

Last updated: October 2026

The articles in Resources are written to help you understand what you are going through and when it is worth asking for help. This page explains who writes them, what they rely on, how we correct them and how they relate to advertising.

Who writes the articles

Articles are written and edited by the Seempathy editorial team. We also use artificial-intelligence tools for research and drafting. No article is published automatically: each one is read and approved by the team before it goes live, and clinical statements are checked against the sources below.

What we rely on

What we write about symptoms, diagnosis and treatment is based on clinical guidelines and published research: the World Health Organization (including the ICD-11 classification), NICE guidelines, the US National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the American Psychological Association, Cochrane reviews and peer-reviewed studies. Articles that make clinical claims end with a list of sources, with links.

Clinical review

When an article has been reviewed by a psychologist or psychotherapist whose licence we have verified, you will see “Reviewed by” and the specialist's name under the title, linked to their profile. An article without that note has not yet had an individual clinical review.

Updates and corrections

We revisit articles when new guidelines or data appear. If you find a mistake or outdated information, write to us at contact@seempathy.md. We correct the text and update the article's date.

Not a substitute for a professional

The articles are for information. They do not diagnose and do not replace an assessment by a psychologist, psychotherapist or doctor. If you are in danger or thinking about harming yourself, call 112 or see the support lines on the Emergency page.

Advertising and independence

Seempathy is an online therapy platform, and some articles mention our services. On some articles we show ads through Google AdSense, labelled “Advertisement” and kept separate from the text. Advertisers have no say in what we write or which articles they appear on. We show no ads on articles about sensitive topics such as crisis, violence or abuse.
