MOST RECENT ENTRY: Helping the Mentally Ill Get Help

by Dr. Mike Atwater - Monday, January 17, 2011
Help for those who need it most

In a special report to CNN.com, Professor Gerald Landsberg says the shooting in Tucson, Arizona, demonstrates again that mental health systems in the US are seriously flawed and, with continuing budget cuts, are becoming even less comprehensive and effective.  He reports that the accused shooter, Jared Loughner, displayed symptoms of ‘young-onset schizophrenia with delusions’, which apparently was not treated and may have led to his alleged act.

Recent research suggests there is a link, although tenuous, between mental illness and violence, especially when an individual has schizophrenia and the disease goes untreated or undetected.

Yet the concern of many advocates for expanded mental health services and consumers, is that highlighting the link would increase stigmatization of the emotionally disturbed, the vast majority of whom are not violent. Others believe by not acknowledging and addressing the connection, an important opportunity for public discussion and effective action is lost. Just look what happened with the public debate and the federal government’s investment in and promotion of No Child Left Behind. Great public awareness of that program suggests what is possible in public education and publicity campaigns when the public forum leads to effective programs.

Landsberg believes that with concerted effort, we can move expeditiously — without the distracting debates about free speech and gun control — to develop comprehensive strategies that take the long but difficult steps needed to reduce America’s mental health deficit.

Adapted from a blog by Gerald Landsberg on CNN online.

Gerald Landsberg is a professor at the Silver School of Social Work at New York University and director of the Institute Against Violence, which conducts research and provides training and technical assistance in forensic mental health, youth violence prevention and family violence prevention and intervention.
