What is a crisis?

A crisis is any situation that causes extreme emotional or psychological distress that affects normal function. A mental health crisis is when the stress of life is so overwhelming it affects your physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional well-being.

When going through a crisis, you may feel like you have no control over how you feel. You may feel anxious, worried, or depressed. These feelings are so strong that they take over your life, making it hard for you to go to work or school or take care of your basic needs. 

It’s important to seek help during a crisis to prevent your feelings from escalating. Open Door Wellness Center provides compassionate behavioral therapy, psychotherapy, and spiritual care offering you the support you need. 

What causes a crisis?

Any event or life change that causes stress may lead to a crisis. Common triggers include:

• Personal tragedy, like the death of a loved one or the end of a relationship
• Problems with family or a significant other 
• Excessive stress at work or school
• Change in physical health
• Insomnia

Anyone can experience a mental health crisis. However, having a history of a mental illness like depression or anxiety may increase your risk of a crisis.
