PC is a self-help community for those dealing with mental health issues. PC is to give and gain support and information...to share in an ultimate common goal. Sometimes we have to look past a disagreement, harsh word, misunderstanding, or flat out just not liking someone to keep that common goal within our sights...for OURSELVES as well as those we care for.

When we act/react on the public forums, it affects potentially the entire community. Let's remember that while we might be reacting to one or two, we're affecting MANY more than that when we act it out in public.

Moderators and Adminstrators are volunteers who care about PC and its members. We're human, fallible; mostly we care. We will do what we can, when we can. Alot of the responsibility of the forums running smoothly lies in the individual members hands, though...literally at our fingertips.

A reminder about what PC is about, why most of us are here, and how it should be obtained...


Forums Mission Statement

The purpose of the Forums at Psych Central is simple -- it's a small community devoted to support for mental health and relationship issues. In that vein, you should be civil and treat others as you expect to be treated here.

You agree not to post any abusive, obscene, vulgar, slanderous, hateful, threatening, sexually-oriented or any other material that may violate any applicable laws. Doing so may lead to you being immediately and permanently banned (and your service provider being informed). The IP address of all posts is recorded to aid in enforcing these conditions. You agree that the Webmaster, administrator and moderators of this forum have the right to remove, edit, move or close any topic at any time should they see fit.

Inappropriate Content

This is, first and foremost, a self-help support community. That means if your message (post or PM) isn't about offering support to another person or asking for it, it's potentially not appropriate for our community.
