Blog
Practical guides on anxiety, mood, attention, sleep, self-esteem and online therapy. No jargon, with sources, and always a clear next step.
In this blog you will find articles written with the same standard as our tests: clinical rigour, plain language and real usefulness. Each piece starts from a question people actually ask (how do I know if I have anxiety?, can ADHD be diagnosed in adults?, does online therapy work?), answers it with reference guidelines and manuals, and ends by pointing to what to do next.
Articles are organised by the same topics as our tests, so you can go from reading to a first orientation in a few minutes. When the topic calls for it, we recommend talking to a licensed online psychologist. We publish new articles regularly; the most recent appear first.
