Urgent Indications For Psychiatric Referral
* Risk of suicide or self-harm * Risk of violence to others (notify appropriate authorities and potential victims when required) * Pronounced symptoms (anxiety, depression, psychosis) * Cognitive disorganization or acute cognitive changes (thought processes) * Substance abuse (substance abuse clinician) * Child abuse (notify appropriate authorities when required) * Urgent life issues or emotional crises requiring rapid and integrated treatment
Note: Referral to a specialized evaluator is indicated whenever these phenomena are present and are beyond the expertise of the initial evaluator. Always consider possible need for urgent referral.
