Abstract RESEARCH ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND
A psychiatric emergency is an acute disturbance of behavior, thought or mood of an individual which if untreated may lead to harm, either to an individual or to others in the environment. Thus, the definition of a psychiatric emergency differs from other medical emergencies in that the danger of harm to the society is also taken into account.
Emergencies may be classified as major, where there is a danger to life either of an individual or to others in his environment or minor where there is no threat to life but causes severe incapacitation.
