What is a Mental Health Crisis?

A mental health crisis is a state of intense emotional distress or psychological upheaval that significantly interferes with your ability to function. During a crisis, you may experience overwhelming emotions, such as intense anxiety, severe depression, uncontrollable anger, or suicidal thoughts. These overwhelming feelings can lead to risky or harmful behaviors towards yourself or others.

It's important to understand that mental health crises are temporary, but they require immediate attention. Seeking help during a crisis is crucial to ensure your safety and well-being.
