- I am hearing voices or seeing things that no one else sees or hears.
- I have recently gone two or more days without any sleep and do not feel tired
- I have recently been physically or sexually assaulted or threatened with bodily harm.
- I believe my life is in danger.
- Someone I know (e.g., a friend, family member) is in a life-threatening situation.
