Terms of Use

Terms of Use

Last Updated: September 24, 2026

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of DepressionTreatment.info (the “Website”).

Please read these Terms carefully. By accessing or using the Website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Website.

1. About DepressionTreatment.info

DepressionTreatment.info is an independent educational and informational website providing general information about depression, mental health conditions, treatment approaches, treatment centers, and healthcare providers.

DepressionTreatment.info is not a healthcare provider, medical practice, hospital, pharmacy, health plan, emergency service, or substitute for professional medical care.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, healthcare professionals, treatment centers, hospitals, clinics, insurers, pharmaceutical companies, government agencies, and other organizations mentioned on the Website are independent third parties.

2. Educational Information — Not Medical Advice

Content on DepressionTreatment.info is provided for general educational and informational purposes only.

Nothing on the Website should be interpreted as:

  • Medical advice;
  • Psychiatric or psychological advice;
  • Diagnosis of a medical or mental health condition;
  • A recommendation that a particular treatment is appropriate for you;
  • A prescription or treatment plan;
  • A substitute for consultation with a qualified healthcare professional; or
  • A guarantee concerning the safety, effectiveness, availability, or outcome of any treatment.

Medical knowledge changes over time, and treatment decisions depend on individual circumstances that cannot be evaluated through general website content.

Always consult an appropriately qualified healthcare professional about diagnosis, medications, treatment decisions, treatment risks, changes in symptoms, and questions concerning your health.

3. No Healthcare Provider-Patient Relationship

Using DepressionTreatment.info, reading its content, contacting the Website, clicking a provider link, or reviewing a treatment-center profile does not create a physician-patient, therapist-client, clinician-patient, or other healthcare professional relationship with DepressionTreatment.info.

A professional healthcare relationship may arise separately between you and an independent provider if that provider accepts you as a patient under its own procedures.

DepressionTreatment.info is not a party to that relationship unless expressly disclosed otherwise.

4. Emergencies and Crisis Situations

DepressionTreatment.info is not an emergency or crisis service.

If you or someone else is in immediate danger or experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 in the United States or your local emergency number.

If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, emotional distress, or a mental health crisis in the United States, you may call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

Do not rely on DepressionTreatment.info, an email, a contact form, or a provider-directory page for emergency assistance.

5. Treatment Center and Provider Directory

DepressionTreatment.info may publish profiles or directory information about treatment centers, healthcare providers, clinics, hospitals, mental health professionals, or other organizations.

Information may include:

  • Provider or organization names;
  • Addresses;
  • Telephone numbers;
  • Websites;
  • Hours;
  • Treatment descriptions;
  • Services offered;
  • Insurance information;
  • Geographic service areas;
  • Credentials or affiliations;
  • Appointment links; and
  • Other publicly available or provider-supplied information.

We seek to provide useful and accurate information, but healthcare information can change.

You should independently confirm important information directly with the provider before making healthcare, travel, financial, or insurance decisions.

6. No Endorsement or Ranking

The inclusion of a healthcare provider, clinic, treatment center, product, service, treatment, or organization on DepressionTreatment.info does not, by itself, constitute an endorsement or recommendation.

Unless a page expressly and clearly states otherwise:

  • Inclusion does not mean DepressionTreatment.info has independently verified every representation made by a provider;
  • Placement within a directory does not establish clinical superiority;
  • A profile does not guarantee that a provider is appropriate for a particular patient;
  • A link does not imply sponsorship or affiliation; and
  • Absence from the Website does not imply that another provider is unsuitable.

Visitors should conduct their own research and consult qualified professionals when selecting healthcare.

7. Provider Information May Change

Provider information can change without notice.

Treatment availability, clinicians, locations, office hours, appointment availability, insurance participation, eligibility requirements, prices, financing options, policies, licenses, and other information may differ from information appearing on DepressionTreatment.info.

We do not guarantee that directory information will always be complete, current, or error-free.

If you identify inaccurate provider information, you may contact us to request review or correction.

8. Insurance and Financial Information

Any discussion of insurance coverage, reimbursement, benefits, financial assistance, or treatment costs is general information only.

Coverage varies according to insurer, plan, employer, treatment, diagnosis, medical-necessity criteria, authorization requirements, network participation, location, and other factors.

A provider’s statement that it “accepts” an insurer does not necessarily mean every service will be covered under every plan.

Always verify benefits and potential financial responsibility directly with your insurance carrier and healthcare provider before treatment.

DepressionTreatment.info does not make coverage determinations and cannot guarantee reimbursement.

9. Treatment Information

DepressionTreatment.info may discuss treatments including psychotherapy, antidepressant medications, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), ketamine, SPRAVATO® (esketamine), light therapy, supportive therapies, and other approaches.

Discussion of a treatment does not mean that treatment is appropriate, safe, approved, or recommended for every person or every condition discussed.

Some treatments may have specific regulatory approvals while other uses may be off-label.

Treatment selection should be based on an individualized evaluation by an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

10. Medications and Regulatory Information

Information concerning medications, indications, warnings, regulatory approvals, or prescribing information is provided for general education.

Medication labeling and regulatory information can change.

For current prescribing information, safety warnings, approved indications, and regulatory status, consult authoritative sources such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the medication’s current prescribing information, as well as an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

Never start, stop, increase, decrease, or otherwise alter a prescribed medication based solely on information found on DepressionTreatment.info.

11. Third-Party Websites and Services

The Website may link to or embed content from independent third parties, including:

  • Healthcare providers;
  • Treatment centers;
  • Government agencies;
  • Academic institutions;
  • Medical journals;
  • Professional organizations;
  • Insurance companies;
  • Google Maps;
  • Video platforms;
  • Appointment systems; and
  • Other websites or services.

Third-party websites are governed by their own terms, privacy policies, and practices.

DepressionTreatment.info does not control and is not responsible for the availability, security, accuracy, content, policies, or practices of independent third parties.

12. Appointment and Insurance Links

Certain provider profiles may include buttons or links such as “Book Appointment,” “Request Consultation,” “Check Insurance,” “Visit Website,” or similar calls to action.

When a link sends you to an independent provider’s website, any information you submit there is submitted to that provider or its technology provider, not to DepressionTreatment.info, unless expressly disclosed otherwise.

DepressionTreatment.info does not guarantee that submitting a form will result in an appointment, treatment eligibility, insurance approval, or acceptance as a patient.

13. Editorial Independence and Corrections

DepressionTreatment.info seeks to distinguish educational information from provider-specific information.

Our content may be developed using authoritative sources including government agencies, academic institutions, peer-reviewed research, professional organizations, regulatory materials, and information published by healthcare providers.

No informational website can guarantee that every page remains current indefinitely.

We may revise, expand, correct, or remove content at any time.

Visitors who identify a factual error are encouraged to contact us.
