Get urgent help for mental health
For most people who experience mental health issues, your first place to get help should be your doctor, who can often refer you to other professionals.
If your mental or emotional state gets worse quickly, this can be known as a mental health crisis or a mental health emergency.
If you cannot wait to see a doctor and feel unable to cope or keep yourself safe, it's important to get support - support is still available even if services seem busy at the moment. You can find out where to get urgent help for mental health on the NHS website.
If you, or someone you know, is experiencing a mental health crisis, you can now call NHS 111 and select option 2 for 24/7 access to support.
If you are deaf or have hearing loss please use NHS 111 - British Sign Language (BSL) Service or use the 18001 111 Relay UK app.
