Because Accuracy is Non-Negotiable.
The accuracy of medical content found online certainly varies, and it’s hard to know who or what you can really trust. At Amber Behavioral Health, we follow a meticulous and thorough review process to ensure the content we publish is rooted in credible, up-to-date scientific evidence that our readers can trust. Accuracy is absolutely non-negotiable when it comes to producing content that provides our audience with insights into mental health conditions and treatment options that are available.

Finding Content Online is Simple.
But Can You Trust What You Read?
Finding health information online is easier than ever before, but easy access to content does not necessarily mean what you’re finding is accurate. While search engines like Google do their best to ensure they deliver content results that accurately reflect what the searcher is looking to find, there are no definitive rules to ensure that what you find and read online is true.
While access to quality, trustworthy health information can be empowering, mental health care decisions that are based on inaccurate or incorrect content can be dangerous! For the average individual, especially someone in crisis, determining what content is most relevant, trustworthy, and up-to-date presents a new challenge above and beyond the existing need to simply find information that can help.
At Amber Behavioral Health, we want you to feel confident when you read mental health content published on our website. So, we share:
- Who creates our medical content.
- How our content is created.
- The steps we take to ensure content is accurate, consistent, sensitive, and has clinical integrity.
- Who reviews our medical content.
- What makes our content reviewers trustworthy experts in behavioral health.
When it comes to your health, you deserve to feel confident in the choice you make based on the information you find. We do our best to deliver safe, simple, sensitive mental health content that you can trust.
Our Medical Content Review Process
A Step by Step Evaluation by Healthcare Professionals
We realize that online mental health information can come across as impersonal and may be overwhelming. In a world where AI (artificial intelligence) tools like ChatGPT are more widely used than ever for the mass production of website content, at Amber Behavioral Health we believe it’s more important than ever to ensure content passes rigorous standards and expert human review to evaluate accuracy, integrity, and sensitivity before publishing on our website. Any article that is labeled Medically Reviewed reflects our due dilligence and commitment to you that the content has been carefully evaluated.
Accurate Data Sources
Our healthcare professional reviews sources ensuring information was obtained from peer-reviewed research, medical journals, & .gov/.edu sites.
Fact Checking
We verify every statistic, definition, contraindication, dosage/age range, and outcome claim against the sources to ensure medical accuracy.
Thorough Medical Review
We review for medical accuracy, completeness, and context (diagnostic criteria, risks/benefits, alternatives, when to seek urgent care).
Safety & Risk Check
We check to ensure crisis language is present, no implied guarantees exist, and no unsafe self-management advice is offered.
