At CBB Hospital — Cochin Hospital for Brain and Behavioural Health — we understand that mental health crises do not follow a schedule. A panic attack at midnight, a suicidal thought in the early hours, or a sudden psychiatric emergency can arise at any time. That is why we provide round-the-clock, 24-hour mental health support, every day of the year, for patients and families in Kochi and across Kerala.
Mental health emergencies are as urgent as any physical medical emergency. Untreated psychiatric crises can escalate rapidly, leading to self-harm, harm to others, complete loss of functioning, or the deepening of a mental illness. Timely intervention — whether by phone, in person, or through emergency admission — can be life-saving. At CBB Hospital, our commitment is that no one should face a mental health crisis alone, regardless of the time of day or night.
Our facility is equipped to handle acute psychiatric emergencies including severe psychotic episodes, acute mania, sudden onset of severe depression or suicidal ideation, aggressive or violent behavior due to psychiatric causes, severe panic attacks or dissociative episodes, drug-induced psychosis or substance-related psychiatric emergencies, and delirium in elderly patients. Our on-call psychiatrists and trained mental health nurses are available at all times to stabilize patients safely and compassionately.
If you or someone you know is in emotional distress — even if it does not feel like a full emergency — our support team is reachable 24 hours a day. A trained mental health professional is available to listen, assess the situation, provide immediate guidance, and recommend the appropriate next steps. Sometimes, talking to a compassionate professional in the middle of the night is exactly what is needed to get through a difficult moment.
Crisis Helpline: +91-9048215757 / +91-9048213838
When a patient requires immediate inpatient care — for their safety or the safety of others — our team facilitates rapid emergency psychiatric admission. Our inpatient ward provides a safe, structured, and therapeutic environment with continuous monitoring and treatment by our psychiatric team.
Recovery does not end at discharge. Patients who have recently been discharged from inpatient psychiatric care are at elevated risk for relapse, especially in the first weeks after leaving hospital. Our 24×7 support ensures that discharged patients and their caregivers always have someone to call if they experience a setback, have questions about medications, or feel overwhelmed.
Caring for a loved one with a serious mental illness is exhausting, frightening, and isolating. Families often do not know what to do when their loved one has a crisis at 2 AM. Our support line is available to caregivers as much as to patients — guiding families through de-escalation techniques, explaining when to seek emergency care, and providing the reassurance they need.
Our round-the-clock support is backed by a dedicated team of senior consultant psychiatrists available on call at all times, trained mental health nurses providing overnight inpatient monitoring, clinical psychologists and counselors for crisis support, emergency medical staff for physical stabilization, and social workers to support families and coordinate aftercare. This multidisciplinary team ensures that every patient who reaches out — at any hour — receives an appropriate, professional, and compassionate response.
Reaching our team is simple:
Important: If there is an immediate risk to life — such as an active suicide attempt or violent behavior — please call emergency services (112) first, then contact us.
While you wait for professional help or are deciding whether to call us, here are steps you can take:
Many families wait too long before seeking help — often because of stigma, uncertainty about whether the situation is “bad enough,” or not knowing who to call. Please remember: there is no threshold of suffering you must cross before you deserve support. Whether it is a mild but persistent worry in the middle of the night or a full-blown psychiatric emergency, our team is here for you. Calling early is always better than waiting.
At CBB Hospital, mental health care is not a 9-to-5 commitment. We believe every person deserves access to psychiatric expertise and human compassion at the moment they need it most — whether that moment falls on a Tuesday afternoon or a Sunday at 3 AM. Our 24×7 support is our promise to the communities we serve: that help is always available, and no one has to face a mental health crisis alone.
