Corrections policy

We will make mistakes. When we do, we correct them in the open. Here is how.

How to report a correction

Send corrections to support@depressionresource.org. Include the page URL, the sentence that needs to change, and, if possible, a current source for the correct information.

Please do not include medical history, symptoms, or other protected health information in email. Email is not a secure channel and is not monitored for clinical purposes.

How corrections are handled

  1. We acknowledge every correction request within 5 business days.
  2. We review the claim against current clinical sources.
  3. If a correction is needed, we update the page within 14 days of confirming the error.
  4. We add a "Corrections" note at the bottom of the page describing what changed and when. Corrections are dated and described, not silently rewritten.

What we correct quickly

Safety-related corrections are handled on a same-day or 24-hour target, ahead of the 14-day window. This includes:

  • Anything that could affect safety, including crisis information, suicide risk language, or 988/911 references.
  • Anything that misstates a guideline or a medication class in a way that could change a clinical decision.
  • Anything that misnames a clinician, organization, or source in a way that could mislead a reader to the wrong resource.

What we do not change quietly

We do not silently rewrite a page after a major change. Major clinical updates are dated and noted. Reading what was on the page yesterday should not feel different from reading what is on the page today, unless a guideline has actually moved.

Conflict of interest

If a correction comes from a party with a commercial interest in the topic, we say so when we publish the correction.
