If you’re feeling worried or anxious or are having a serious mental health issue, you’re not alone. More than 39% of Maryland adults report recently having symptoms of anxiety or depression, and more than one-third of those said they couldn’t get the help they felt they needed. A mental health crisis can come on suddenly, even for people with no prior history, and can rapidly get serious. In 2021, Maryland’s suicide rate was a distressing 9.7 per 100,000 residents. There’s no reason to feel lost or alone when you’re dealing with an emotional or mental health crisis. The Maryland Crisis Line is always here to help you through a tough situation with help from caring local professionals. The resources we’ve gathered here offer free and low-cost mental health care, including Maryland Helpline crisis interventions, for people of all backgrounds and situations.
