The Visions and Voices of Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia


 Visions and voices can be distressing and may occur if you have Bipolar or Schizophrenia

Help for someone with a mental illness UK

If someone who has previously been diagnosed with a mental illness has suicidal thoughts, contact a member of their care team or the centre or clinic where they were being treated.
If you do not have these details, contact your nearest accident and emergency (A&E) department and ask for the contact details of the nearest crisis resolution team (CRT).
CRTs are teams of mental healthcare professionals, such as psychiatrists and psychiatric nurses, who work with people experiencing severe psychological and emotional distress.
For more information about CRTs, the charity Rethink Mental Illness has a crisis teams factsheet you can download from their resources section.
