BACKGROUND: Crisis care can be carried out by: Psychosocial Care Centers, general hospital emergencies, hospital emergency care / emergency room doors, primary health care and Mobile Emergency Care Services. AIM: To carry out a narrative review on emergency mobile services in the face of psychiatric emergencies. METHODS: Articles were searched in databases: SCIELO, VHL, CAPES and LILACS published between 2013 to 2018. The following keywords were used to search for the articles: psychiatric emergencies, psychic crisis, mobile urgency in dealing with the crisis, with 23 studies being identified. RESULTS: There is a shortage of studies on emergency mobile services in the face of psychiatric emergencies. The emergency and emergency services, when assisting the user in psychic crisis, have prioritized sedation and referral for hospital admission, reproducing the knowledge of traditional psychiatry. The difficulty of health professionals in caring for the person in situations of emergency and or psychiatric emergency is sometimes related to poor training and lack of permanent education that includes mental health. CONCLUSION: The assistance provided by the Mobile Emergency Service to the person suffering from mental illness is fundamental to strengthen the restructuring of mental health care in the country, it is necessary to train the teams that work in these services to guarantee the substitutive function of the services of the Psychosocial Attention Network and the care of people who live and coexist with mental disorders outside hospital admissions.
