Lynn Nanos, a mobile psychiatric emergency social worker with 15+ years experience, shares insights on evaluating and helping people with serious mental illness in crisis situations.
Her work bridges the gap between law enforcement and mental healthcare, providing crucial interventions for individuals experiencing psychosis and other mental health emergencies.
• Conducts psychiatric evaluations in various settings including homes, police stations, nursing homes, and even public spaces
• Assesses whether individuals need hospitalization or can be referred to outpatient treatment
• Works with police to divert people from the criminal justice system when possible
• Explains the "revolving door" problem with brief hospital stays leading to recurring crises
• Advocates for Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) to reduce homelessness, hospitalization, and incarceration
• Discusses anosognosia (lack of awareness of illness) affecting up to 97% of untreated schizophrenia patients
• Clarifies that most people with mental illness are not violent and are more likely to be victims
• Highlights the difference between psychosis and borderline personality disorder interventions
• Emphasizes that mental illnesses are brain disorders that shouldn't be stigmatized
