What this register documents—and what it does not

These records let readers verify the established subject areas underlying Psyeq lessons. This first version is a foundational register, not a completed lesson-by-lesson citation audit. Psyeq's named exercises, mnemonics, levels, and journey architecture are educational syntheses unless a lesson states otherwise. Listing an organization or author does not mean they endorse Psyeq, and a supporting reference does not validate every sentence or guarantee a personal outcome.

Transparency standard

How Psyeq handles evidence

01

Prefer traceable records

Government and intergovernmental guidance, publisher catalogues, DOI records, PubMed entries, and institutional primary texts are preferred over blogs or unattributed summaries.

02

Separate evidence from synthesis

External sources establish underlying concepts. Psyeq-created acronyms, exercises, examples, games, and progression systems are clearly treated as educational design.

03

Keep limitations visible

Research can be revised or disputed, and results may depend on age, culture, health, setting, and measurement method. Sources are reviewed periodically, not treated as permanent proof.

04

Correct the record

If a citation is broken, mismatched, outdated, or overstates its evidence, email support.psyeq@gmail.com with the lesson and source details.

Educational and safety notice

Psyeq provides general education and practice activities. It is not a medical diagnosis, psychotherapy, emergency service, individualized nutrition plan, or exercise prescription. Stop any activity that causes pain, dizziness, breathing difficulty, or distress and consult a qualified professional for personal advice. In an immediate emergency in India, call 112. For Government of India tele-mental-health support, Tele-MANAS is available at 14416 or 1800-89-14416.
