Last updated November 4, 2026.

Not a medical device or service

Built For Chaos and this website are a book and a set of productivity tools published by Authentic Mess Studios, LLC. They aren’t a medical device, a medical service, or a healthcare application, and they don’t provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Not medical advice

Nothing in the book, the tools, the articles, or the emails does any of the following:

  • Provides medical advice or clinical recommendations
  • Diagnoses any condition, including ADHD
  • Replaces professional medical or mental health care
  • Makes any claim about how effective or safe a treatment is

Crisis Protocol is a set of self-help steps drawn from the book. It isn’t triage, an assessment, or a clinical instrument. It doesn’t evaluate risk, and it can’t tell you whether you’re safe.

Talk to a professional

Talk to a qualified healthcare professional about diagnosis, treatment, medication, therapy, and any concern about your mental or physical health. Don’t ignore professional advice, or delay getting it, because of something you read here.

No professional relationship

Using this site or reading the book doesn’t create a doctor-patient, therapeutic, or other professional healthcare relationship with Authentic Mess Studios, LLC or anyone associated with it.

Regulatory status

This site isn’t approved, cleared, or authorized by the FDA or any other regulator as a medical device. It hasn’t been through clinical trials or medical validation, and it isn’t intended for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of any disease or condition.

Accuracy and liability

We make no warranty about the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of anything here, and the site might contain errors or be unavailable. Authentic Mess Studios, LLC accepts no liability for decisions made on the basis of anything on this site, for reliance on it for healthcare decisions, for loss of data, or for any outcome related to its use.
