Not medical advice

Plainly, and in full:

• This site publishes general information about cat phobia and specific phobias, drawn from public authoritative sources (NIMH, ADAA, published clinical literature), cited on our sources page.
• Nothing here diagnoses any person. The reflection tool is a self-reflection aid; it returns no score and no finding.
• Nothing here is a treatment plan. Descriptions of exposure therapy, CBT, and other approaches describe what clinicians use — for you to discuss with a professional, not to self-prescribe.
• No clinician is affiliated with this site today. Our guide draft is pending independent clinical review and is not sold.
• If fear is shrinking your life, the professional route is a licensed mental-health clinician; if you are in crisis, call or text 988 or text HOME to 741741 (U.S., free, 24/7); if anyone is in immediate danger, call 911.
• Information here is U.S.-framed (crisis numbers, DSM terminology). Readers elsewhere: your local crisis lines and clinicians are the right routing.
