How Siggy content is written and reviewed.

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.

Who reviews what.

Every article and condition page on this site displays a named reviewer with credentials and a last-updated date. Those are not decorative.

Clinical content, meaning anything touching medications, prescribing, diagnosis, or clinical research, is reviewed by a licensed physician on our clinical team before publication. Non-clinical content, such as articles about access, lifestyle, workplace wellbeing, or the healthcare system, is reviewed by licensed clinicians on a rotating basis. Reviewers evaluate accuracy, currency, and whether claims match their sources; they have the authority to block publication, and they use it.

Our clinical team, with names and credentials, can be found on the team page.

Our sourcing standards.

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.

AI in our editorial process.

Consistent with how we practice medicine, we are transparent about how we create patient-facing content: drafting and research at Siggy are AI-assisted. What is never AI-only is judgment. Every piece passes fact-checking against its sources, an independent citation-verification pass confirming that each source actually supports the specific claim it is attached to, and human clinical review, as described above. AI helps us produce content; the standards above determine whether it is published.

Updates and corrections.

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.

What this site is not.

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.

FAQs.

Who writes Siggy content?: Content is produced by our editorial team with AI assistance, then fact-checked, source-verified, and clinically reviewed before publication. The named reviewer on each page is accountable for its accuracy.
Why don’t you cite sites like WebMD or Healthline?: They are aggregators: useful for orientation, but secondary sources summarizing the research we can cite directly. We go to the primary source so errors do not compound.
How often is content updated?: On evidence, not on a calendar: guideline changes, approval changes, and flagged errors trigger review. The last-updated date on each page reflects the most recent substantive review.
