AI Article Synopsis
- The young adult chronic patient is identified as a specific group within the chronically mentally ill, characterized by a high need for mental health services that challenges the healthcare system.
- The "revolving door syndrome," where patients frequently cycle in and out of treatment, is attributed to deficits in three key areas: individual psychological issues (intrapsychic), interpersonal relationships (dyadic), and broader societal factors.
- The paper proposes a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses these deficits across all three levels to improve outcomes for this population.
Article Abstract
Recent literature has described the young adult chronic patient as a subgroup of the chronically mentally ill whose high demand for a variety of mental health services places a strain on the delivery system. This paper suggests that the revolving door syndrome reflects deficits among the target population at three different levels: intrapsychic, dyadic, and societal. A treatment program that includes strategies responsive to the deficits at each level is described.
