Mental health crises can occur unexpectedly, leaving individuals and their loved ones feeling overwhelmed, frightened, and unsure of what to do next. At ExpectCare Mental Health Clinic, our Crisis Intervention Services provide immediate, compassionate, and professional support to those experiencing acute emotional distress.
What is a Mental Health Crisis?
A mental health crisis is any situation in which an individual’s emotional or psychological state poses a serious risk to their well-being or safety. This can include:
- Severe anxiety or panic attacks
- Suicidal thoughts or self-harm behaviors
- Extreme depression or hopelessness
- Intense emotional distress due to trauma or loss
- Psychotic episodes (hallucinations, delusions, paranoia)
- Aggressive or impulsive behavior due to mental illness
