Earlier this week in New York, Jordan Neely, an unhoused individual with mental illness, was choked to death while experiencing a mental health crisis on the subway by another passenger.
This hits home professionally as a psychiatrist and personally as a new yorker. I was riding the subway that evening, albeit a different line, and the incident itself is horrific. But the response of our politicians has really made it so much worse. We need help that is actually helpful and consistent with what people want for their lives and values.
