Education, not medical care
Please read this before relying on anything you find here.
Nortivia is an educational website operated by Coastal Mind & Wellness. Nortivia, Coastal Mind & Wellness, and the affiliated private psychiatry practice are distinct from the educational guidance provided here.
In an emergency
This site is not continuously monitored and cannot contact emergency services on your behalf.
Call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, U.S.), text HOME to 741741, or call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department if someone is in immediate danger.
See ways to get helpEducational guidance, not individualized treatment
Everything here — articles, videos, assessments, tools, and Ask responses — is general education. It is not tailored clinical advice for a specific person and does not take the place of an evaluation by a qualified professional who knows the full situation.
No diagnosis
Assessments and tools describe patterns and possible next steps. They do not produce a score, a label, or a diagnosis of ADHD, anxiety, depression, or any other condition.
Medication information
This site is not intended to provide individualized medication recommendations. Do not start, stop, change, or adjust medication based on information provided by this site. Medication decisions should be discussed with an appropriate licensed healthcare professional.
AI-generated guidance
Some responses provided through Ask are generated using artificial intelligence. AI can make mistakes, misunderstand context, or provide incomplete information. Do not rely on an AI response as a substitute for professional judgment, individualized medical or mental health care, or emergency assistance.
Safety comes first
If there are thoughts of suicide or self-harm, someone is being hurt, or there is a medical emergency, stop using the site and reach a person who can help right now. A teen can turn to a safe parent or guardian, a trusted relative, a school counselor, teacher, coach, healthcare professional, or emergency personnel — if a parent may be the source of danger, choose another safe adult.
Separate from the private practice
This educational site is distinct from the affiliated private psychiatry practice. Reading or using anything here does not make you a patient of that practice.
