Weekly Mental Health Chats
Dr. John Grohol hosts a free, weekly mental health and relationship Q&A chat once per week. He does this as a volunteer and has hosted a weekly chat continuously since 1995. Before participating in any of these chats, please read the Chat Rules.
We also have an active chat room in our community support forums. (Log in to see them.)
Tuesdays @ Psych Central
-
Hosted every Tuesday night
from 9:00 pm ET - 10:00pm ET (6:00pm PT - 7:00pm PT)
in our very own Psych Central Chat Room.
To get to the chat room, jump over to
our support forums, login, then choose the chat link that appears on
in the top forum navigation menu. (If you're not registered, you can
do so for free at anytime.)
- Please read the disclaimer and terms of use before participating in any of Dr. Grohol's online chats. (The lawyers made me do this!)
- Chats are informal and centered around general mental health and relationship questions. Dr. Grohol regrets he cannot make specific treatment recommendations for any problems presented, nor can he diagnose a problem online.
- Questions are answered in the order received. If the chat is busy, you are requested to limit yourself to 2 or 3 questions.
- If you find Dr. Grohol hasn't answered your question after about 10 or 15 minutes, please ask it again. Sometimes questions go by more quickly than he can see and respond to them (especially if the chat is busy).
- Since Dr. Grohol is not a medical doctor, he prefers not to answer questions about medications, but can refer you to the online reference guide to medications about common side effects, indications, etc.
- Always check with your own doctor or therapist before making any changes in your treatment regimen.
- Private messages to Dr. Grohol are strongly discouraged, since they take away from the public chat (which is the point of the chat in the first place!).
