Need support from a person?

For immediate danger, an overdose, or serious injury, call local emergency services now. If you are in India, call 112. Tele-MANAS offers 24/7 human mental-health support at 14416 or 1800-891-4416. Tele-MANAS does not replace emergency response. Outside India, use your local emergency or crisis service. The chat cannot call services or monitor emergencies.

For ongoing or worsening symptoms, speak with a qualified mental health professional.
