Direct guidance
What to know or do
Use emergency help now, stay with a trusted person if safe and do not drive. Tell responders about pregnancy, medicines, recent sleep and any risk of harm; do not stop psychiatric medicine abruptly without medical direction.
What changes the answer
- How long the change has lasted and how it affects sleep, eating, self-care and safety
- Past diagnoses, trauma, treatment response, medicines and relapse warning signs
- Privacy, practical support, coercion, immediate danger and who can stay with you
Urgent help
