The authors believe that emergency psychological, psychiatric and psychotherapeutic care is an important component of the healthcare system and plays an important role in providing timely assistance to people facing crisis situations, including mental disorders, suicidal thoughts, traumatic events and other problems. The main task of emergency psychological, psychiatric and psychotherapeutic care is to provide quick and effective assistance in an emergency situation when every minute matters and can save a life. In addition, emergency psychological, psychiatric and psychotherapeutic care can also help prevent the development of mental health-related diseases and provide patients with access to the necessary resources and treatment. It is important to note that urgent psychological, psychiatric and psychotherapeutic care should be available to everyone who needs it, regardless of age, gender, social status and other factors. At the same time, it is important to take into account the cultural and ethical characteristics of each patient and provide them with an individual approach and high-quality care.
