How to Use Mental Health and Addiction Resources Online
Online resources can be a useful starting point for learning, but they should not replace professional medical or mental health advice. Look for information that clearly identifies its sources, authors, qualifications, evidence, and date of publication.
If you are concerned about symptoms, addiction, substance use, or a possible mental health condition, consider speaking with a qualified healthcare or mental health professional.
If you are in immediate danger or experiencing a mental health crisis, contact your local emergency service or an appropriate crisis-support service.
