Specialised Support for Crisis Intervention and Emotional Stabilisation in Bangalore

When Is Crisis Intervention Necessary?

Mental health crises can affect anyone, at any stage of life. It’s not always predictable but what matters most is timely, appropriate and professional support. Crisis intervention is essential when:

• There is an Immediate Risk to Self or Others: Suicidal thoughts, self-harm, or aggressive behaviour require urgent evaluation and care.
• Sudden or Severe Mental Distress: Panic attacks, hallucinations, disorientation, or a breakdown in functioning can indicate a psychiatric emergency.
• Escalation of an Existing Condition: Individuals already under treatment may experience worsening symptoms, severe side effects, or a relapse that demands swift attention.
• Caregiver or Family Distress: Sometimes, it’s a family member who reaches out, unsure how to manage a loved one’s sudden behavioural or emotional changes.

What Does Our Crisis Support Involve?

Our crisis intervention process is calm, focused, and structured to prioritise both safety and emotional relief. Depending on the situation, it may include:

• Urgent Psychiatric Evaluation: A rapid assessment by Dr. Krishna Thalagavara to understand the nature and severity of the crisis. This can be arranged either in person or via tele consultation (when appropriate).
• Immediate Stabilisation Plan: Practical steps to manage the crisis, which may involve temporary medication, admission advice, or safety planning.
• Collaboration with Family or Caregivers: We help concerned family members understand the situation and offer clear, compassionate guidance on next steps.
• Referral or Admission Support: When necessary, we coordinate referrals to trusted hospitals or inpatient facilities for round-the-clock care and observation.

Our priority is to reduce distress, manage risk, and ensure that both the individual and their support network feel heard, informed, and supported throughout the crisis.
