    This subreddit is dedicated strictly to answering questions related to psychiatric issues only. Medical questions please refer to /r/askdocs.

  5. This is not a replacement for going to a doctor.
    This subreddit is not a replacement or supplement for a doctor. You should not, in any way, avoid seeing your doctor or alter the frequency of your doctor visits because of anything said in this subreddit.

  8. Getting Verified
    If you are a medical professional who wishes to become a verified contributor to this subreddit, please [message the moderators](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=/r/AskPsychiatry) with a link to a picture of your medical ID, diploma, or other credentials. Imgur.com is convenient, but you can host anywhere. Please block out personal information, such as your name and picture. **You must include your Reddit username handwritten in the photo!** No digital forms of identification.
  9. Nonpersonal psychiatric questions
    If you are posting a question that is not a personal it is allowed. Example "What happens if a patient is suicidal in the psychiatric inpatient setting?" "How do SSRI's work?". However please be thorough and detailed with your question so we can answer it best to our ability.
  10. Replies to posts from verified professionals only
    If you are not a medical/psychiatric professional who has verified and received flair, any replies to posts will be automatically removed. You may reply to comments on posts.

What the written rules don't show

  • Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
  • Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
  • The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.

Let your AI read the rules before it posts.

ThreadFox reads a community's current rules, writes a post that fits them, posts once with Reddit's Brand affiliate tag and checks it stayed up. The free ThreadFox Lite reads rules too.
