Disclaimers

General

NIMH does not endorse or recommend any commercial products or services. Inclusion of an author’s views or opinions on our website does not mean they state or reflect those of NIMH or the U.S. Government, and private parties may not use them for advertising or product endorsement purposes.

Medical Information

NIMH does not intend to provide specific medical advice on our website, but rather to help visitors better understand mental health and disorders. NIMH will not provide specific medical advice and urges you to consult with a qualified mental health or health care provider for diagnosis and for answers to your personal questions.

Some NIMH Web pages may link to those of other organizations. This does not constitute an endorsement of their policies or products. Once you click on a link to another site, you are subject to its privacy policy.

Pop-Up Advertisements

When visiting our site, your Web browser may produce “pop-up” advertisements (advertisements that spontaneously appear on your computer screen). The most likely source of such an advertisement is another website you visited or third-party software on your computer. NIMH does not endorse or recommend products or services featured in advertisements that “pop up” during your visit to our site.
