Editorial
Editorial standards
How Psychiatry for Kids sources, reviews, and corrects what we publish.
Sourcing
We cite peer-reviewed research, published clinical guidelines (AACAP, AAP, NICE), and government sources (NIMH, CDC). We do not source from other blogs or secondary summaries. Every citation is linked to a DOI or PubMed ID where possible.
Clinical review
Every article covering a condition, a treatment, or a diagnostic consideration is reviewed by a licensed clinician before it is published. The reviewer's name and date appear under the byline. Articles are re-reviewed on an 18-month cadence; the review date is updated whenever the article is substantively revised.
AI assistance disclosure
We use AI assistance to draft, outline, and research — but every paragraph is edited by a human and every clinical claim is verified against a cited source. We never publish AI-generated clinical advice without human clinical review.
Corrections policy
If you find an error, email [email protected]. We aim to respond within 48 hours. Substantive corrections are appended to the article with a visible changelog.
Conflicts of interest
This site is published and funded by Emora Health. When an article discusses a service Emora sells (e.g. evaluations, medication management, therapy), we disclose the relationship inline. Reviewers disclose any financial conflicts with pharmaceutical or device companies on their reviewer profile.
Not medical advice
Content on this site is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for a clinical evaluation. If you or someone you care about is in crisis, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or 911.
