Emergency psychiatric care is a specialized service that provides emergency medical care and support to people in a state of mental crisis or with active mental disorders. This service allows you to respond to urgent situations and provide professional assistance to prevent potential threats to the life and health of patients. In an emergency, it can be almost impossible to get to a specialized clinic. Especially if the patient is in a state of exacerbation and loved ones simply cannot transport him or her to a hospital for treatment. In this case, calling a psychiatric ambulance at home will be the best solution.
How to call a psychiatric ambulance
Calling a psychiatric emergency team does not require any complicated actions or much time:
- Dial the emergency number. You will be connected to a dispatcher who will assess the situation and send the necessary assistance. Psychiatric emergency numbers of the GarMed clinic are available on the website.
- If you know that a person has already been diagnosed with a mental disorder and is in crisis, briefly tell the dispatcher about the diagnosis, the patient’s current condition, and the manifestations of the disorder. Answer questions clearly and concisely.
When calling a psychiatric ambulance, it is important to provide as much information as possible about the person’s condition, symptoms, and the circumstances of the crisis. This will help specialists better understand the situation and provide the necessary assistance.

Do not confuse the ambulance with the work of specialists in the hospital. The task of doctors in the ambulance is not to diagnose and make a diagnosis, to treat and monitor the patient’s condition. The main purpose of calling an ambulance is to receive emergency assistance and, if necessary, transport the patient to a clinic where he or she will be provided with all the necessary medical care.
Emergency psychiatric care may include assessment of the patient’s condition, crisis intervention, and, if necessary, hospitalization in a psychiatric hospital. The purpose of this service is to prevent dangerous situations, ensure patient safety and provide emergency care to stabilize patients. You can find out more information from the specialists of the GarMed psychiatric clinic.
