Immediate help

If you need help now.

Reaching out is a brave thing to do—and you don’t have to do it alone. TalkDoc is not an emergency service. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911. For emotional distress or thoughts of suicide, call or text 988.

Immediate danger or medical emergency

Call 911

Call now if someone is in danger, has collapsed, cannot breathe, is having a seizure, or cannot be awakened.

Community

Peer conversation and shared experience—support between visits, not a substitute for care.

Visit community

Optional check-ins

Some members may use short between-visit check-ins when available. They support continuity—they do not replace a clinician visit or emergency care.

Scheduled care

You don’t have to carry this alone.

Eligible California members can use TalkDoc for scheduled mental-health care with a licensed clinician—someone in your corner, visit after visit. If you need immediate help, use 911 or 988 above—do not wait for an appointment.
