Have questions about Behavior Secrets? You’re in the right place. Below you’ll find answers to the questions readers ask us most often — about who we are, how we create content, what we cover, and how to get in touch.
About the Site
What is Behavior Secrets?
Behavior Secrets is a plain-language psychology resource. We publish explainers on mental health conditions, the science of emotions and habits, relationships and attachment, everyday wellness, and an “Ask the Psychologist” column that answers the questions readers send us.
Our goal is simple: help you understand what is happening in your mind or your relationships clearly enough to make a good decision — including the decision to see a professional.
Who operates Behavior Secrets?
Behavior Secrets is operated by Inedit Agency S.R.L., a company based in Bucharest, Romania. We are a small editorial team producing content through a combination of AI-assisted research and human editorial review.
Is this site a substitute for therapy?
No. Nothing here is a diagnosis, a treatment plan, or a replacement for a licensed professional who knows your history. We write so that your conversation with a professional is easier to start and better informed. See our Disclaimer.
Why should I trust the information on this site?
We take accuracy seriously. Here is why you can trust our content:
- Authoritative sources: We rely on NIMH, NIH, CDC, WHO, the APA, SAMHSA, NICE, and peer-reviewed research
- Human editorial review: Every article is reviewed by a human editor before publication — we do not publish AI output without oversight
- Safety rules: We follow safe-messaging guidance on suicide and self-harm and point readers to crisis services where relevant
- Transparent corrections: When we get something wrong, we correct it and document the change with a dated notice
- No advertiser influence: Our editorial decisions are independent from our revenue sources. See our Advertiser Disclosure
- Clear disclosures: We disclose our use of AI tools, our affiliate relationships, and any other material connections
Content and Accuracy
Who creates the content on Behavior Secrets?
Our content is created by our editorial team using AI-assisted drafting tools (specifically Google Gemini) combined with human editorial review and oversight. We use AI as a research and writing tool — not as an autonomous publisher.
Our process:
- Human editors select topics from reader questions and developments in clinical guidance
- We identify authoritative sources relevant to the topic
- AI tools draft the article following detailed editorial guidelines
- A human editor reviews the draft for accuracy, clarity, tone and safety
- The article is fact-checked against our source tier hierarchy before publication
- Published articles are reviewed annually or when clinical guidance changes
For full details, see our Editorial Policy.
How do you ensure your information is accurate?
We use a tiered source hierarchy:
- Tier 1 (highest priority): NIMH, NIH and the National Library of Medicine, CDC, WHO, the American Psychological Association, the American Psychiatric Association (DSM-5-TR), SAMHSA, NICE
- Tier 2: Peer-reviewed journals, Cochrane reviews, academic medical centers such as Mayo Clinic, Harvard Health and Johns Hopkins Medicine
- Tier 3: Established consumer health publications with named clinical reviewers
When sources conflict, we prioritize health agencies, professional bodies and peer-reviewed research over consumer publications.
How often is content updated?
- Routine updates: Evergreen articles are reviewed annually. Seasonal content is reviewed before each relevant season
- Triggered updates: We update articles when the DSM or ICD is revised, when new clinical guidance is issued, when the FDA publishes a safety communication about a medication we mention, or when a major study reverses an earlier consensus
Updated articles show a revised “Last Updated” date.
What if I find an error in an article?
Please report it — we genuinely want to know. Email contact@ineditagency.com with the subject line “Error Report” and include:
- The URL of the article
- What you believe is incorrect
- A source or citation showing the correct information (if available)
We will acknowledge your report within 24–48 hours, investigate within 5 business days, and correct verified errors promptly.
Using Our Content
Is the information on this site personalized to my situation?
No. All content on this site is general educational information. It is not tailored to your history, health, or circumstances, and it is not a diagnosis. If you recognise yourself in an article, talk to a licensed professional. In the United States the APA Psychologist Locator and the SAMHSA treatment locator can help you find one.
What should I do in a crisis?
Do not wait for an article. If you are thinking about harming yourself or someone else, or you are in immediate danger:
- United States: call or text 988 (988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), or text HOME to 741741 (Crisis Text Line)
- Immediate danger anywhere: call your local emergency number (911 in the US, 112 in the EU, 999 in the UK)
- Outside the US: findahelpline.com lists free, confidential crisis lines by country
Can I ask the psychologist a question?
Yes. Send your question through the contact form or to contact@ineditagency.com. Questions are answered in general terms in the “Ask the Psychologist” column, never as individual advice, and we remove identifying details before publishing. We cannot respond to emergencies — please use the crisis services above.
Can I share or republish your articles?
You are welcome to share links to our articles on social media or in other online contexts. Brief quotes with attribution and a link back to the source are also acceptable.
Full republication of our articles is not permitted without explicit written permission. Contact contact@ineditagency.com to discuss licensing or syndication.
