Editorial Policy
How We Build Medical Content
Diagnostic Psychiatry is a medical education site. The standard is simple: claims should be useful, sourced, clinically bounded, and updated when the evidence changes.
Last updated: May 8, 2026
Purpose
The site explains the psychiatry-medicine interface: medical conditions, medications, sleep disorders, nutritional deficiencies, endocrine disease, and metabolic patterns that can cause, mimic, or amplify psychiatric symptoms.
The site does not diagnose visitors, replace a clinician, or tell readers to start, stop, or change treatment.
Authorship
Core content is written or directed by Canybec Sulayman, PMHNP, AGPCNP, using clinical experience, psychiatric training, and source review. Pages that guide clinical decision-making should identify the author, review status, and review date.
Evidence Standard
Major claims should be tied to one of these evidence types:
- clinical practice guideline or professional society statement
- systematic review or meta-analysis
- randomized controlled trial
- large cohort, case-control, or cross-sectional study
- expert clinical interpretation, clearly labeled as such
- emerging mechanism, clearly separated from practice standards
Review And Updates
High-impact medical pages should be reviewed at least annually, and sooner when guidelines, FDA safety information, or major studies change the interpretation. Broken source links, placeholder citations, and unsupported statistics should be treated as defects.
Corrections
If you see a factual error, broken citation, or unclear safety statement, contact info@diagnosticpsychiatry.com. Corrections should prioritize patient safety and source accuracy.
