• Do not use this site to diagnose yourself or anyone else. Only a qualified professional can diagnose depression or any other condition.
• Do not start, stop or change any medication or treatment based on this site. Talk to your prescriber or clinician.
• Our tools help you organize and prepare. They do not assess, score, monitor or treat anything.
• The Small Steps Garden is a supportive game inspired by a general idea used in some therapies. It has not been clinically tested and is not a treatment.
• Guides show their real review status. "Not yet medically reviewed" means exactly that.

In an emergency

If you or someone else is in immediate danger in the U.S., call 911. If you are in crisis or thinking about suicide, call or text 988. See urgent help, including services outside the U.S.

An educational disclaimer does not replace accuracy or professional review — which is why we document sources and review status on every guide.
