A mental health crisis can occur when a person's usual coping strategies are overwhelmed, causing an intense emotional and/or behavioral reaction. Anyone can experience a mental health crisis; however individuals with mental illnesses are more prone to have these experiences-often with greater intensity.

CONT

[...] la personne glisse vers une situation de crise où elle se sent dépassée et impuissante face aux événements et aux émotions qu'elle vit. La crise est en général une période de tension et de désorganisation déclenchée par un événement spécifique, une rupture d'équilibre entre l'individu et son environnement.

CONT

Una crisis psicológica es lo que sobreviene a una persona cuando un evento traumático sobrepasa su capacidad para afrontarlo. Un evento que precipita una crisis psicológica en una persona, no necesariamente afectará a otras, por eso no es posible predecir con confiabilidad las crisis psicológicas, si solamente se toma como referencia los sucesos que les preceden.
