People in Denmark can now get fast mental health care during emergencies.

On Monday, Denmark launched a unified psychiatric emergency helpline across all five regions.

You can reach this service by calling 112 or local out-of-hours medical lines.

Callers will get direct connection to specialized psychiatric advice and urgent care.

The service operates 24 hours a day and seven days a week.

It is based at the emergency service centers in each Danish region.

This initiative aims to improve emergency healthcare access for all residents.
