Failing the Severely Mentally Ill

DJ Jaffe and Stephen Eide join John Stossel to talk about how America’s health-care system fails the severely mentally ill in cities across the country. The U.S. spends more than $150 billion annually on programs that do little to help those with serious mental illness and leave many untreated. Individuals with the most severe diagnoses, like schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, are thrown into an endless cycle of jail stays, homelessness, and repeat hospitalizations. Jaffe and Eide argue that policymakers should focus resources on those who need them most, expand the use of assisted outpatient treatment (AOT) to help people with severe mental illnesses, and stop looking to the criminal-justice system to solve the problem.
