Last updated: April 2026
Please read this page before using DrJerryKennard.com. It sets out clearly what this site is, what it isn't, and how the information here should be used.
General Information Only
The content on DrJerryKennard.com is written for general informational and educational purposes. It draws on established psychological research and clinical experience, but it is not tailored to your individual circumstances. Nothing on this site constitutes professional psychological, medical or psychiatric advice, and it should not be treated as such.
If you are concerned about your mental or physical health, the right course of action is to consult a qualified professional — your GP is usually the best starting point.
Not a Substitute for Professional Help
Reading an article, however well-informed, is not the same as receiving professional assessment or treatment. This site does not offer therapy, diagnosis or clinical guidance of any kind. If you are experiencing significant distress, a mental health crisis, or symptoms that concern you, please seek professional support rather than relying on information found here.
In an Emergency
If you are in crisis or concerned about your immediate safety or that of someone else, do not use this site as your first response. Contact the emergency services relevant to your country of origin.

Accuracy and Currency of Information
Every effort is made to ensure the information on this site is accurate and based on current evidence.
