## Content boundaries
- Diagnosis criteria are paraphrased and structured for reference use, not reproduced as verbatim DSM-5 text.
- Medication sections are summaries and should be cross-checked against current FDA labeling and clinical guidance.
- Emergency situations, suicidality, homicidality, severe agitation, psychosis, intoxication, or inability to stay safe should be handled through emergency services and crisis resources, not this website alone.
