988?
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭

I just got recent diagnose from actual psychiatrist and not just a therapist with major depressive disorder - severe, and generalized anxiety disorder. I still see my therapist even though my psychiatrist diagnose me. But, therapist tell me to call 988 if I ever feel suicidal and I feel I need to act on it. If I do that, what happens if they can't calm me down? I'm guessing they don't give me permission to do it, but do they call the police? If they call the police, what do they do?
