Time of intense turmoil (6)

I believe the answer is:

crisis

(Other definitions for crisis that I've seen before include "Time of decision or acute danger" , "Moment of danger" , "Serious or crucial situation" , "unstable period" , "A decisive or dangerous time" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
