Specializes in Emergency Medicine

You must initiate: any formal consult. If you are worried that you might do something dangerous before Monday, then please go to an Emergency Department and ask for help. Meanwhile, don't drink, do any drugs unless you have prescription medicine to prevent mania, and be very careful with yourself. Don't go shopping, partying, etc. You are quite vulnerable right now. And be sure to keep your appointment Monday.

Best to see MD: You should be seen in person as soon as possible by a psychiatrist to evaluate and diagnose your mental state. Diagnosing mania can be complicated, requiring a detailed history, physical and mental status exam. Tell a family member or trusted friend how you feel, ask them to go with you to urgent care or ER without delay. Mania is treatable.
