A psychiatric emergency is considered a behavior or situation in which an individual is a danger to self, others, or damage to property. This includes suicide attempts or threats, assaultive behavior/threats, homicidal threats, and property destruction. The behavior is currently taking place, not something that happened yesterday or last week, or last month.
