Identifying a Mental Health Crisis

A mental health crisis looks different from person to person and is defined by the person experiencing it. Make it a point to know when and where to reach out for help whether for yourself or someone you care about.

Here are some common indicators that someone may be experiencing a mental health crisis:

• Trouble managing daily tasks such as bathing, brushing teeth, or changing clothes
• Extreme changes in mood
• Increased agitation or anger
• Abusive behavior to self or others
• Isolation
• Paranoia
• Difficulty recognizing family or friends, hearing voices, or experiencing hallucinations
• Thoughts of killing themselves
• Thoughts of harming others

If you or a loved one are experiencing a mental health crisis, please reach out for help.
