Emergency psychiatry is the clinical application of psychiatry in emergency setting. Conditions requiring psychiatric interventions may include suicide, substance abuse, depression, psychosis, violence or other rapid changes in behavior.

Care of patients requiring psychiatric intervention usually encompasses crisis stabilization of many serious and potentially life-threatening conditions which could include acute or chronic mental disorders or symptoms similar to those conditions.
