Insane Consequences
How the Mental Health Industry Fails the Mentally Ill
DJ Jaffe
Insane Consequences is a critical examination of the mental healthcare system by a relentless industry critic. It reveals why, despite an annual spend of $147 billion, 140,000 mentally ill are homeless and 390,000 are incarcerated. DJ Jaffe blames industry and government policies for shunning the most seriously mentally ill, leading to dangerous consequences for the public and sufferers. This book presents a road map to smart, compassionate, affordable reforms to return the focus of mental healthcare to the most seriously ill. A must-read for anyone in the mental health industry or interested in public policy.

DJ Jaffe was a great, important, tireless advocate for better policies to help those with serious mental illnesses. His book Insane Consequences was truly important. He battled cancer for a long time, but never stopped his advocacy. May his memory be a blessing. @TreatmentAdvCtr – source
