For Urgent Help or Crisis Situations
We advise individuals to go to the Emergency Department at the nearest hospital or Klinik Kesihatan and check out our crisis support page. The waiting time for our Buddy Talk program is longer and may not be suitable for your needs.
These severe symptoms may include:
- having serious thoughts of harming yourself / suicidal thoughts
- having serious thoughts of harming others
- frequently hearing or seeing things that no one else can (hallucinations)
- thinking and talking about irrelevant or illogical things that do not make sense
