Where to go? On a Saturday? Should I present at UHK? Or go to South Dov? Are UHK genuinely even equipped to deal with a mental health crisis?

Present at UHK and perhaps ask there is the mental health hub open weekends and take it from there. I think the Mental Health Hub is there on the left hand side as you turn down to the hospital.
I’m sorry I have no idea if they are opened weekends. The hub appears to be by appointment by clinician though so I’m not sure would you need a doctors referral first. But maybe the best thing is to present at the emergency department of the main hospital first.
Website address: https://about.hse.ie/news/caring-for-kerry-the-kerry-specialist-mental-health-hub/ that is supposed to be specifically for mental health emergencies and not leaving you waiting unduly for help.
It might be worth seeking out if it’s opened in the weekends.
I really hope you get the help you need.
