Pakistan doesn't yet have a round-the-clock mental health crisis line. Outside these hours, use the emergency numbers above or go to the nearest hospital emergency department.
Right now
- If you are in immediate danger, call one of the emergency numbers below now (outside Pakistan, your local emergency number).
- Call one of the mental health helplines below, or reach out to someone you trust - a friend, family member, or your doctor - and stay with them, in person or on a call.
- Remove access to anything you could use to harm yourself, if you can.
- If symptoms ease, still bring this check-in to a licensed professional for a full evaluation.
This is a risk-tier signal, not a diagnosis. Only a qualified professional can assess and treat what you are experiencing.
Find help
Search for a local crisis line, emergency service, or hospital emergency department in your country. If you already have a therapist, psychiatrist, or doctor, contact them directly.
If you can, have ready
Your location, a brief description of what's happening, and the name of anyone who can stay with you. You don't need to have everything figured out before you call.
