§ 5540 Mental Health Records Confidentiality

• •Your mental health records are private and can't be shared without your permission.
• •There are some exceptions, but usually, no one can see your records unless the law says so.
• •This rule is there to protect people who get mental health help.

You go to a therapist to talk about your feelings.

Your therapist can't tell your boss or friends what you talked about. It's private, just like your diary.
