Urgent help and safety first
If you are in immediate danger, feel unable to keep yourself safe, or may harm yourself or someone else, do not rely on this website. Contact local emergency services now. In Ireland, call 112 or 999, go to the nearest emergency department, or contact an urgent crisis support service. Outside Ireland, contact the emergency number or crisis service where you are.
This website can offer general education, but it cannot assess risk, monitor your safety, or replace urgent professional help.
A free public mental health resource
This website is offered as a free public educational resource. It reflects a personal commitment to making careful mental health information, clinical experience, and practical reflection more accessible to people who may be trying to understand themselves or find a next step.
Because this is maintained as a free public service by one person rather than by a large clinical publisher or institutional editorial team, not every page can be continuously reviewed, localised, or checked against every new development. Reasonable care is taken, and pages are updated as time allows, but information may be incomplete, out of date, or unsuitable for your particular circumstances.
Please use the site as a starting point for understanding and questions, not as a substitute for a trained professional who can assess you directly. Check important decisions with a suitably qualified clinician and current authoritative sources.
Educational information only
The material on jonathanhaverkampf.com is provided for general educational and informational purposes. It is not medical advice, psychological advice, psychotherapy, counselling, diagnosis, crisis care, supervision, or a personal treatment recommendation. Mental health information can be incomplete, outdated, or unsuitable for a particular person, even when it is carefully written.
Do not ignore, delay, start, stop, or change professional care because of something you read here. If a symptom, diagnosis, medication question, treatment decision, risk issue, or personal situation matters to your health or safety, please discuss it with a suitably qualified clinician who can assess you directly.
A website cannot replace a trained human professional
Useful mental health support depends on context, clinical judgement, professional training, and an ongoing relationship with a real person who can ask follow-up questions, notice changes, and respond to risk. This website cannot examine you, diagnose you, prescribe, monitor treatment, or know the full details of your life.
No professional relationship from website use
Reading this website, downloading material, using a tool, leaving a comment, or sending a general enquiry does not create a doctor-patient, therapist-client, counsellor-client, supervisory, fiduciary, or other professional relationship. A professional relationship can only begin through a separate agreement and appropriate professional assessment.
Medication and medical safety
Medication, physical symptoms, side effects, pregnancy, substance use, sleep changes, neurological symptoms, and other medical issues require individual medical advice. Do not start, stop, increase, reduce, combine, or substitute medication or supplements because of website content. Speak with a doctor, pharmacist, psychiatrist, or other qualified prescriber.
Therapy, counselling and online appointments
Information about psychotherapy, counselling, psychiatry, communication, or self-help is general. The suitability of any service depends on your needs, location, risk level, privacy, technology, and applicable professional or legal requirements. Online work is not suitable for every situation and does not replace emergency or local crisis care.
Comments, community and public posting
Comments, discussion areas, and community features are public or semi-public spaces, not therapy or private clinical communication. Do not post confidential, identifying, crisis, medical, or highly personal information. Comments from other users are not professional advice and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or unsafe for your circumstances.
Email and contact privacy
Website forms and email are not emergency services and may not be suitable for sensitive or urgent clinical information. Electronic communication can be delayed, misdirected, intercepted, filtered, or unavailable. If you need urgent help, use local emergency or crisis services instead of contacting this website.
External links, PDFs and older content
External links are provided for convenience and further reading. They do not mean endorsement and may change without notice. Older articles, PDFs, archived material, comments, or linked resources may no longer reflect current evidence, law, service availability, professional standards, or website policies.
Self-help exercises and future tools
Self-help exercises, questionnaires, reflective prompts, audio, worksheets, digital tools, or AI-assisted features are educational aids only. They are not diagnosis, therapy, medical care, crisis assessment, or a guarantee of outcome. Stop using any exercise that makes you feel unsafe or significantly worse and seek appropriate professional support.
No guarantees
Mental health outcomes vary between people. No article, service description, technique, exercise, or comment on this website guarantees recovery, symptom relief, diagnosis, access to care, or a particular result. Any examples are illustrative and should not be treated as promises about your situation.
Your legal rights
Nothing in this disclaimer is intended to exclude or limit rights, responsibilities, duties, or remedies that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. The disclaimer is intended to clarify the educational nature of the website and the boundaries of online information, not to reduce appropriate professional accountability where it legally applies.
Where to go next
If you are unsure what kind of help you need, consider speaking with your GP, a registered mental health professional, a local crisis service, or a trusted person who can help you access care. For service enquiries, use the contact page, but do not use it for emergencies.
Review basis
This page was reviewed on 7 May 2026 as part of a sitewide disclaimer audit. The wording is informed by mental health safety, professional-boundary, advertising, privacy, online-care, and health-information quality guidance. It should still be reviewed by a qualified lawyer for jurisdiction-specific legal advice.
