What is a mental health crisis?A crisis is when a young person may hurt themselves or others, can’t stay safe, or needs immediate help. Common signs include:
  • Rapid mood swings; severe agitation or pacing
  • Talking very fast or not making sense; confused or paranoid thoughts
  • Hallucinations or delusions
  • Threats of self-harm or harm to others; suicidal statements
  • Extreme withdrawal (not leaving room), not eating or sleeping
  • Sudden changes: can’t calm down, can’t be supervised safely
