Clackamas County Stabilization Center

Behavioral health is an umbrella term that includes mental health and wellbeing, and how that affects behavior. Examples of behavioral health disorders and symptoms include anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, eating disorders and addictive behaviors.

A behavioral health crisis is a situation where someone's behavior puts them at risk of hurting themselves or others or prevents them from being able to care for themselves. This could include, for example, panic, anxiety, agitation, or hearing voices.
