Clinician-validated and reviewed articles to
support Americans “in the age of self-help-meets-social-media”
As more Americans continue to seek information about mental
health conditions based online, Talkspace, the leading provider of
virtual behavioral health services, today announced the launch of
its new “Mental Health Conditions Library.” The new site will be
available to (both members and non-members of the Talkspace
service) with free, clinically-evaluated, human-authored articles
and information on a comprehensive range of mental health
conditions. The library will also provide information on available
treatments related to those conditions.
“TikTok and other social media channels have raised awareness,
and helped destigmatize mental health conditions like anxiety,
depression and ADHD, but it comes with a risk,” said Dr. Varun
Choudhary, Chief Medical Officer of Talkspace. “It can
lead to people self-diagnosing or hastily seeking inappropriate
treatments, so we brought together a team of licensed Talkspace
clinicians to add a layer of professional insight, nuance, and
approachability with this educational resource. We are meeting
people where they are in this age of
self-help-meets-social-media.”
More than 30 conditions appear alphabetically, and each one is
described in an approachable, easy to understand manner defined in
accordance with the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders, 5th Edition (DSM 5). The corresponding entries also
describe each condition’s symptoms, examples of appropriate coping
mechanisms and treatments, ranging from self-care to therapy to
medication for more severe cases, and links to an assessment. The
assessment will help guide individuals in evaluating if they should
seek help from a licensed mental health professional to address
their concerns.
All content in the Mental Health Conditions Library is authored
by specialized writers and reviewed by a dedicated team of
licensed, practicing Talkspace mental health clinicians. The
Clinical Review Process includes: 1) the fact-checking of all
mental health claims and statements, backed by current research
from credible sources, including peer-reviewed journals and
educational institutions, 2) ensuring content is accessible to a
diverse range of individuals and addresses their unique mental
health needs, and finally, the Library Includes guidance on how the
reader might move forward if they believe they are experiencing the
conditions, including the option to access virtual care through
Talkspace.
