   I submitted this article to Owlcation
   Unfortunately, it was not accepted, they said, “it is possible that it was not selected due to the nature of its topic. If there is no content and structural issues”
   I would be grateful, if anyone can help me out
   I can’t see if there is any similar topic on Owlcation
   This is a link to my article: https://discover.hubpages.com/education … c-disorder
   
   Thanks

   I think it because your subject is medical but you're not a doctor.

      Thanks for responding, Eric
      
      No, I have quoted enough references in it, plus I have done my bachelor's in Psychology, so I am totally aware of what I am telling in it. I don't know YMYL,. What's that?
      I am not giving any medical advice in it.

   You have to show in the bio that you are qualified. So get rid of the "Misbah has always wanted to pursue writing as a career." and "fine arts" references. Make it very clear that you are qualified to write about this subject.
   
   You can save up to 25 article bios, so always change them to suit the topic.
   
   The article shouldn't go to Owlcation, but to HealthProAdvice. https://healthproadvice.com/mental-health/
   
   Don't put periods/full stops at the end of subheadings.
   
   Some of your sentences are too long and a little convoluted. Imagine that a teenager needs to understand it.
   
   Make sure you use the medical disclaimer.
   
   Good luck. I'm sure you'll get this to wherever it needs to go. x

      Thanks a lot, Bev
      You are always very supportive and kind.
      I did as you suggested:
      1. I removed the full stops from the subheadings
      2. Changed my Bio
      3. Changed the disclaimer from general to medical now.
      4. I tried to manage some sentences in a way that a teenager can understand it
      
      I hope they will accept it now. Thanks for wishing Good Luck
      Blessings always

         Why 60 days? It should be 14 days only.

            I don't know
            On others, it says 14 days, but on resubmitting this one, it says 60 days

   Sorry, I did not notice your bio.
   
   For my opinion my opinion, I'm not sure about this, your subject is not for Owlcation, it is for Healthproadvice as Bev said. There are also over 75 million results on Google for your topic. It is a very common topic on many websites.  HP not only referring to Owlcation but anywhere on the internet
   
   
   Second, an Australian government website ranks about 100th. The government websites rank higher than Owlcation. If HP moves your article to the Niche sites, it would rank more than 100th place.

      Yes, Eric, you are right, but I think it is a very common topic and many people search it especially after Covid 19. A lot of people have covered it before.  I agree, but I would like to send it to a niche site rather than keeping it here. It is giving me good traffic on discover as well
      Thank you for the help
      Blessings always

   Misbah, I had read this article but couldn't comment as I could not find it on my feed. I did notice an error in this passage, however:
   "In addition to the separate anxiety disorder, also known as *panic disorder or panic disorder*, the concept of panic attack or panic disorder, is still used as a definition of a characteristic symptom not necessarily related to panic disorder"
   
   You say "also known as panic disorder or panic disorder". That term also seems to be used too frequently so may be seen as keyword stuffing.

      Thanks a lot, John
      You are right, I removed some from this paragraph. I also felt the same way, Maybe I did too much keyword stuffing
