Are You or a Loved One Experiencing a Behavioral Health Emergency?
What Is a Mental Health Emergency?
A mental health emergency, or psychiatric crisis, often involves thoughts of self-harm, suicidal ideation, or danger to others. These crises can also include acute psychotic episodes, severe anxiety, or overwhelming emotional distress. Individuals may experience confusion, paranoia, hallucinations, or delusions that impair their judgment or safety.
At Sugar Land ER, we take all psychiatric symptoms seriously and are equipped to intervene swiftly and professionally.
When to Come to the ER
If you or someone you know is experiencing any of the following symptoms, seek emergency care immediately:
- Risk of self-harm: This includes suicidal thoughts, cutting, or other self-injurious behaviors.
- Risk of harming others: Violent outbursts, threats, or physical aggression that pose a danger to others.
- Loss of contact with reality: Hallucinations, delusional thinking, paranoia, or bizarre behavior that interferes with functioning.
- Acute substance misuse or overdose: Excessive drinking, drug use, or accidental overdose that may require medical detox or intervention.
At Sugar Land ER, we are open around the clock to provide fast evaluation, stabilization, and referrals when needed. Our Sugar Land team works to ensure each patient’s physical and emotional safety with dignity and respect.
Anxiety and Depression
While many people manage anxiety and depression with ongoing treatment, these conditions can sometimes escalate to emergency levels. If symptoms are interfering with daily functioning or present an immediate threat to safety, a visit to the ER is appropriate.
Some warning signs include:
- Panic attacks or intense fear that does not subside
- Persistent thoughts of death or suicide
- Severe withdrawal from family or responsibilities
- Depression that worsens quickly or causes physical health concerns
Sugar Land ER offers emergency treatment for severe anxiety and depression episodes. We can also provide temporary relief, initiate stabilization, and guide you toward the next steps in your treatment journey.
