Mental health services must improve. A New Jersey law increased psychiatric involuntary commitment in emergency departments, delaying transfer to a psychiatric facility. Although this law was created with positive intent, it does not address the root issue: the inability of people to find adequate psychiatric care in their communities. Emergency department directors, staff, and patients agree that the emergency department lacks resources to provide specialized treatment for this population. Patients with longer stays are at greater risk for complications. The state should focus on increasing community funding to provide preventive care, psychiatric walk-in clinics, employment, and transportation.
