shrinkiatry in The Shrink Network
How the profession-facing layer fits alongside the rest of the network, and where to go when a reader needs depth we don't carry here.
What the network is
shrinkiatry is the profession-facing site in The Shrink Network, a family of independent mental health properties founded and medically reviewed by Shariq Refai, MD, MBA, a board-certified psychiatrist. Each site has one job. shrinkiatry covers the profession of psychiatry: how the work gets done, how training and practice are structured, and how the field is changing. It's commentary and reference for clinicians and the people who work alongside them, and it isn't medical advice.
The profession directory and its public counterpart
shrinkiatry keeps a profession directory of the programs, people, and institutions that shape psychiatry, including the Psychiatry Residency Guide and the Psychiatry Innovation Atlas. The public-facing counterpart of the profession directory is the Shrink Atlas, a psychiatrist-authored map of human functioning. That atlas sits on ShrinkDaily and organizes concepts for a general reader, while the profession directory here organizes programs and people for a professional one. The two answer the same question from different chairs.
How the sites fit together
The network keeps clinical care, education, and publishing operationally separate, and none of the sites run advertising or earn referral revenue. On the education side, Shrinkopedia is the encyclopedia, Shrinktionary defines the language, PsychiatryRx covers medication, and ShrinkDaily turns evidence-informed concepts into a daily learning habit. AnxietyResource and DepressionResource carry patient education, and AnxietyResearch summarizes the evidence. On the clinical side, shrinkMD is where readers who want evaluation or ongoing care can begin. shrinkiatry stays in the profession lane and points to the right site when a reader needs depth we don't carry.
Where shrinkiatry sits
If you work in or around psychiatry, this is the site built for you. Start with the Operating Room for the clinical and practice material, the Residency Guide if you're training or hiring, and Contribute if you want to review or add to what we publish.
