If your loved one is in crisis, call 911
Symptoms of a crisis vary from individual to individual. Erratic behavior, completely different behavior, non-existent personal
hygiene are among the most common symptoms. It’s best to call 911.
If this is the first trip to the emergency mental health stabilization hospital, one may want to consider completing the disability
paperwork with the Social Security Administration.
This may also be a great time to arrange for legal documentation that may or may not be required. The type of paperwork is
probably dictated by your loved ones compliance or non-compliance. Some legal documentation required: medical
power of attorney, legal guardianship, legal financial power of attorney.
