A psychological crisis exists
when an individual is out of touch with reality
because of severe drug reactions, psychotic breakdown
or is threatening harm to himself/herself or to
others. The person may be hallucinating or exhibiting
uncontrollable behavior.

on your own that you feel is dangerous.
-

Clearly state that you need immediate assistance,
give your name, your location and the area
involved.
