What this site is — and isn't

mentalhealth.men gives you straight, plain-English information about men's mental health. We work hard to keep it accurate and we review it against trusted Australian sources.

But here's the thing: we're a website, not your doctor.Nothing here is medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Reading an article can't tell you what's going on for you — only a proper conversation with a GP, psychologist or other qualified health professional can do that.

So:

• Don't use this site to diagnose yourself or anyone else.
• Don't start, stop or change any medication or treatment based on what you read here — talk to your doctor first.
• If something here conflicts with what your health professional told you, go with them. They know your situation; we don't.
• Information about services, numbers and hours can change. We check regularly, but always confirm with the service directly.

The people who write and review this site are not providing you with a clinical service, and using this site doesn't make you anyone's patient or client.

If you're in crisis or in immediate danger, don't wait — call 000, or Lifeline on 13 11 14.
