Some situations should not wait for a routine mental health appointment.
Seek immediate help if you or someone you know is experiencing suicidal thoughts, an urge or plan to harm themselves or another person, severe behavioral changes creating an immediate safety risk, or another life-threatening psychiatric emergency.
In the United States, call or text 988 to reach the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department when there is an immediate life-threatening emergency.
