When hospitals release seriously mentally ill patients too soon without outpatient follow-up, the patients can end up homeless, jailed, harming others, or even dead. When patients are deemed suitable for inpatient care, they can languish for weeks in hospital emergency departments before placements become available. Meanwhile, patients who fake the need for care are smoothly and swiftly moved to inpatient settings.

"I was hooked on this book starting at the 'Dedication: For seriously mentally ill people who need help but lack the capacity to request it.' This is not just well-researched...Many people stop at discussing and identifying the problem, or as she refers to it our 'broken system', but Lynn goes in depth to outline the reasons, and then she offers evidence-based, practical solutions."
