What Is a Behavioral Health Crisis?
A behavioral health crisis is any situation in which a person’s behavior puts them at risk of harming themselves or others, or when they are unable to care for themselves due to mental or emotional distress. This can include:
-
Suicidal thoughts or attempts
-
Severe depression or anxiety
-
Psychotic episodes (e.g., hallucinations or delusions)
-
Substance-induced mental breakdowns
-
Intense emotional trauma (e.g., from abuse or loss)
In these moments, professional intervention is critical to stabilize the individual and begin a path toward recovery.
When to Seek Help
Knowing when to seek crisis behavioral health support is crucial. You should reach out immediately if you or someone else is:
-
Talking about or attempting suicide
-
Experiencing extreme paranoia or delusions
-
Showing signs of a drug or alcohol overdose
-
Unable to function due to panic attacks or emotional distress
-
Threatening harm to others
-
Suddenly acting confused, agitated, or disoriented
Don’t wait. The sooner help is provided, the better the outcomes for recovery and long-term stability.
