Editorial Policy
Clarity, structure, and source-aware summaries.
Simple Psych is built around structured, scan-friendly summaries of psychiatric diagnoses, scales, treatments, and management literature with an emphasis on clear organization over exhaustive textbook reproduction.
Content approach
Content is written to help users rapidly locate the key clinical elements of a diagnosis page. That includes DSM-style criterion organization, short contextual summaries, commonly used scales, treatment groupings, and selected literature links.
Where copyrighted source material applies, content is paraphrased rather than reproduced verbatim.
Sources and evidence expectations
Diagnosis structure is informed by DSM-style diagnostic organization, while treatment and literature sections are meant to orient the user toward further review of current evidence and primary sources.
Medication information should be confirmed against current FDA labeling, guidelines, and institution-specific practice expectations before clinical use.
Updates and revisions
Content may be revised as pages expand, citations improve, and additional diagnoses, medications, and scales are added. Users should expect iterative improvement rather than final or exhaustive coverage.
If a page seems incomplete or unclear, it should be treated as a prompt for further source verification rather than a definitive endpoint.
