York Region Mental Health Resources
All information, especially that found on the Internet, needs to be evaluated by readers for authority, appropriateness, and other criteria for value. If you find information that is "too good to be true", it probably is. Never use information that you cannot verify. "Cast a cold eye" (as Yeats wrote) on everything you read. Question it. Look for other sources that can authenticate or corroborate what you find. A simple guideline is to look at the internet address of the article you are reading. Sites that end in .edu or .gov or .org do lend some authority to content.
Remember, always discuss medical issues with your doctor. Do not attempt to diagnose and treat yourself. Use information to educate yourself and promote your own health.
