Health information is only useful if it is true, and the internet is not short on mental health content that is confidently wrong. This page describes the standards to which every piece of Siggy content is held, so you can judge for yourself whether to trust what you read here.
Every Blog Post displays a last-updated date. Blog articles do not currently display a named clinical reviewer while we establish a formal review and approval process.
Until that process is in place and individual reviews are recorded, Blog Posts should be treated as educational editorial content, not as content approved by a Siggy clinician.
Our clinical team, with names and credentials, can be found on the team page.
Every factual claim about how a medication works, what a study found, how effective a treatment is, or what a condition involves must carry an inline citation to a primary source at the point of the claim.
What qualifies as a primary source: peer-reviewed research (PubMed, journal DOIs), government health agencies (NIH, NIMH, FDA, CDC, SAMHSA), and clinical practice guidelines from professional bodies (APA, VA/DoD). What does not: health aggregator sites, blogs, or other companies’ marketing content. If a claim cannot be anchored to a qualifying source, it is rewritten or removed.
We also disclose context that sales copy usually omits: when a medication use is off-label, when a study is small or preliminary, and when evidence is mixed. You will find those disclosures inline, next to the claims they qualify.
Consistent with how we practice medicine, we are transparent about how we create patient-facing content: drafting and research at Siggy are AI-assisted. Articles are fact-checked against their sources, including a citation-verification pass confirming that each source supports the claim it accompanies. Clinical review is a separate approval step, and current Blog Posts do not claim that approval.
Medical evidence changes, and health content that never updates is quietly becoming wrong. Every page carries a last-updated date. Content is revised when guidelines change, when medications gain or lose approvals, and when readers or clinicians flag errors.
If you find something inaccurate on this site, we want to know. Substantive corrections are made promptly and reflected in the updated date.
Siggy content is educational. It is not medical advice; it does not establish a clinician-patient relationship, and it is not a substitute for evaluation by a licensed clinician who knows your history. If something you read here raises a question about your own care, that is a question for your prescriber.
