Policy
Editorial policy
Public health-anxiety pages on Deanxious are educational. They are written to help readers understand common patterns and find proportionate next steps. They are not medical diagnosis, treatment plans or emergency care.
What we publish
We publish original editorial answers to distinct questions about health anxiety and its effects on daily life. We do not invent member stories, testimonials, clinicians, engagement counts or recovery histories. Illustrative examples are labelled as such.
AI assistance
Many drafts are prepared with substantial AI assistance and then edited for this site. An AI system never provides final clinical approval. Pages that make clinical treatment claims remain unpublished until an appropriately qualified human reviewer signs off.
Medical and safety boundaries
We do not tell readers a symptom is “just anxiety,” interpret personal test results, advise stopping medication, or override clinician-recommended checks. Peer support and membership are not therapy or emergency services. Urgent-care information is never placed behind a paywall on these pages.
Attribution
Public articles are attributed to a real editorial identity. Credentials appear only after human verification. Member contributions appear publicly only with explicit permission for the exact text and search exposure.
