Psychiatric emergency services for Helsinki residents over the age of 16 will operate at the Meilahti Emergency Department. 

At the emergency department, we always assess the need and urgency of treatment first. Based on this, you will be referred to a nurse or physician. Patients are treated in the order of urgency, not in the order of arrival. Because of this, a patient who has arrived after you may be admitted for treatment before you.
