Why Evidence Matters
In a market flooded with wellness claims, understanding what "clinically proven" actually means helps you make informed choices about your mental health care.
Types of Evidence
- RCTs: Randomized controlled trials -- gold standard
- Meta-analyses: Statistical combination of multiple studies
- Peer-reviewed publications: Expert-reviewed research in journals like JMIR
- Real-world evidence: Outcomes from actual clinical use
Red Flags
- "Clinically proven" without citing specific studies
- Small sample sizes (under 100 participants)
- No comparison group
- Funded solely by the company selling the product
