Abstract

Psychiatric emergencies represent a complex intersection between mental health and emergency medicine, requiring specific approaches for screening, assessment, and immediate intervention. This systematic review examined current literature on strategies for managing psychiatric emergencies, including anxiety crises, suicidal ideation, and psychotic episodes. Reviewed studies highlighted the importance of early screening, comprehensive assessment, and multidisciplinary interventions to improve clinical outcomes. Ethical considerations and limitations were acknowledged, emphasizing the need for sensitive and evidence-based approaches to psychiatric emergency management.
