No ads, nothing for sale
PsychiatryRx carries no advertising. It sells no products. It takes no affiliate commissions and no referral fees from any practice, pharmacy, or service it mentions. There is no financial reason for the site to tell you anything other than what the evidence says.
Who publishes it
PsychiatryRx is published by shrinkMD Publishing and is editorially independent of any clinical practice.
The affiliation we disclose
The site's medical editor, Shariq Refai, MD, MBA, is the founder of shrinkMD, an independent multistate telepsychiatry practice. We state that plainly, because it matters.
Most pages on PsychiatryRx have nothing to do with shrinkMD. The medication guides, comparisons, and class pages discuss medications, not providers. Where a guide does touch on getting care, for example a guide about finding medication management, telepsychiatry providers including shrinkMD may be listed as one option among several. In those places PsychiatryRx does not recommend one provider over another, and it earns nothing whether or not you choose any of them.
Why we handle it this way
A medication resource is only useful if you can trust it, and trust depends on knowing where information comes from and who stands behind it. Disclosing the shrinkMD affiliation openly, rather than burying it, is how the site stays worth reading.
