What to know or do
Bring the exact label, ingredients, preparation method or situation for “Control, threats, forced sex or physical harm” when asking for advice. Ask for help when mood, fear, panic, sleep or intrusive thoughts are interfering with daily life, relationships or self-care.
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

When to get individual help
Check the exact item or situation with a doctor, midwife, pharmacist or relevant clinician; the name of a broad category is not enough for a personal decision.
