If you or anyone else is in immediate danger of hurting themselves or others, or appear to have lost all sense of reality: 

  • Go directly to the Accident & Emergency (A&E) department of your local hospital to get help, they have trained professionals  who will be able to assess your situation and provide appropriate support
  • Call 999 to request an ambulance if you are unable to reach the hospital yourself. Paramedics not only deal with physical health emergencies, but also mental health emergencies too
