Psychiatry Emergency Service
We support patients in the Mount Sinai Hospital’s Emergency Department who are experiencing mental health concerns.
What we do
Our interprofessional Psychiatry Emergency Service team offers assessment and treatment planning for patients with mental health or addiction problems in the emergency department.
What to expect
During your Emergency Department visit, you may be referred to the Psychiatry Emergency Service team. A clinical nurse specialist, mental health clinician or physician from our team will talk with you about your current mental health concerns. Together, we will create a care plan for treatment and safety that fits your needs.
Care plans may include:
- Medication options
- Psychosocial interventions or treatments
- Recommendations for educational tools and self-help resources
Please note that we are a teaching hospital, so you may see medical students, residents or other medical trainees as part of your care. Learners are supervised by other members of our dedicated health-care team who work together to provide you with comprehensive care.
What to bring
- Health (OHIP) card or valid health-care coverage
- A list of your current medications
- A support person, if desired
