2. How AI May Be Used

AI tools may be used to assist with:

  • Drafting or structuring educational articles
  • Improving clarity and readability
  • Editing grammar or language
  • Generating content outlines
  • Assisting with summarising research material

AI functions solely as a writing support tool.

All final content is:

  • Conceived, reviewed, edited, and approved by Dr Justine Dreyer
  • Clinically verified against current evidence-based standards
  • Contextualised for the South African healthcare environment
  • Published under the professional responsibility of a registered psychiatrist

AI does not independently determine content accuracy, clinical recommendations, or medical conclusions.

3. Human Oversight and Professional Accountability

Consistent with HPCSA ethical principles and international AI governance guidance, meaningful human oversight is maintained at all times.

All clinical opinions, interpretations, and educational positions expressed on this website reflect the professional judgement of Dr Justine Dreyer.

AI tools do not replace:

  • Medical training
  • Clinical expertise
  • Ethical responsibility
  • Professional accountability

Responsibility for all published content rests with the author as a registered medical practitioner.

4. Data Privacy and Confidentiality

AI tools are not used to process identifiable patient information for website content generation.

No confidential patient data is entered into AI systems for the purpose of producing website articles.

This approach aligns with the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) and international data protection standards.

5. Limitations of AI-Assisted Content

While AI may assist with language or structure, it may:

  • Generate inaccuracies
  • Reflect outdated information
  • Lack contextual nuance

For this reason, all content undergoes professional review prior to publication.

Readers are encouraged to consult a qualified healthcare professional for personalised medical advice.

6. Educational Purpose of Website Content

All content on this website is provided for general psycho-educational purposes only and should not be used as medical advice. It does not constitute a doctor-patient relationship and is not a substitute for individual medical consultation, diagnosis, or treatment.

If you are concerned about your mental health, medication, or symptoms, please consult your GP, psychiatrist, or another qualified healthcare provider.

If you are in crisis in South Africa:

  • Call 10177 (Emergency Medical Services)

7. Ongoing Review

As international and South African guidance regarding responsible AI use evolves, this policy may be updated to remain aligned with ethical, professional, and legal standards.
