Contact
Arcana Mentis doesn’t have a public email address, so there’s no inbox where a letter would reach a person. You’re welcome to read as much as you like, and this page points you to the right kind of help for whatever made you look for it.
If you’ve wished you could write back after reading a page, thank you. It means something when a page lands at the right moment. It’s better to tell you where things stand than to let you picture someone at a desk opening mail. The site lives at arcanamentis.com, and mail sent to that domain shouldn’t be counted on to reach anyone, because nothing on this page says it does.
If you need help today
Please don’t use this page in a crisis or a medical emergency. If you’re in crisis in the United States, call or text 988, or go to 988lifeline.org, before you look for a form. You can reach 988 any time, day or night, and you don’t need to be sure you’re “unwell enough” to call. Outside the United States, call your local emergency number or a local crisis line.
If you or someone near you has sudden confusion, weakness on one side, trouble speaking, or a severe headache, call 911 right away. If alcohol or drugs are part of what’s hard right now, the SAMHSA National Helpline is free and confidential. For questions about your own health or a medicine, the best person to ask is your doctor or pharmacist. Keep taking any prescribed medicine as prescribed, and talk with your doctor before you change anything. Arcana Mentis is for education, and it isn’t a clinic.
If you have a question about the site
Many questions already have an answer written down. The FAQ covers who writes the pages, what the site collects, and what it can and can’t do for you. Each room has its own FAQ too, such as the depression FAQ and the loneliness FAQ, which include the questions people ask about medicine. If a word on a page puzzles you, the glossary explains it the way this site uses it.
If you want to know how a page was made or where its facts come from, how we write lays that out, and every page about health ends with links to the public health agencies it draws on. Those links are a good way to check anything that looks wrong to you.
Pages to read while you’re here
- About explains who the site is for and the rules it follows.

Every article is free to read, and you can come back as often as you like. If tonight is a hard night, please reach out to someone who can answer: a friend, a neighbor, your doctor, or 988.
