Important
- Modern Body Doc is not a crisis service and can't respond to emergencies. Please don't use our contact address for urgent help.
- Online therapy apps are not designed for emergencies. If you're in crisis, use 988 or 911 rather than waiting for a therapist's reply.
- Outside the US, contact your local emergency number.
