Experiencing a significant change in your mental health?

You should call NHS 111 or visit NHS 111 online for advice if you - or the person you are concerned about - experience a significant change in your mental health and are not already receiving care from mental health services.

This might include:

  • Hearing or seeing things that are not experienced by other people, for example hearing voices
  • Having strong beliefs that are not shared by others, for example believing there is a conspiracy against you
  • Having excessive energy or movements, sleeping very little
  • Behaving in a bizarre and out of character way
  • Changes in behaviour like wanting to avoid people, lack of basic self-care.

Whilst these can be normal experiences, they can also be signs of something more serious.
