Frequently asked questions
What should I do if I am in immediate crisis?
If you are in immediate danger, call 112 in India or go to the nearest emergency room. You can also call Tele-MANAS (14416) or other helplines listed on this page. FeelFable cannot provide emergency medical care.
Are these helplines available 24/7?
Emergency 112, Tele-MANAS, AASRA, and Vandrevala are commonly listed as 24/7. Hours for other lines (for example iCall) can vary — if a line does not connect, try another resource or emergency services.
What are warning signs of a mental health crisis?
Warning signs can include isolation, big changes in mood or sleep, hopelessness, talk of self-harm, risky behaviour, or losing interest in usual activities. If you notice these in yourself or someone else, seek help right away.
