If someone with a mental health issue is going to hurt him/herself or others, then you can call 911. Otherwise, you can't call 911.

Instead of calling 911, there are a number of other options. You can call a hotline if you need to talk (for example, the ones in the Related Links section). If you are in need of professional help, make an appointment with a psychologist or psychiatrist. If you need help now, go to the nearest urgent care or emergency center.
