[Outcome of 89 psychiatric emergencies managed by 3 mental health centers in an emergency service].
This paper deals with the assessment after 2 years of the outcome of 89 psychiatric emergencies taking in charge in Saint-Luc hospital's (Brussels) emergency room, by 3 community mental health services. After the triangulation of the demand, in the emergency room, 91% of the patients go to the community mental health service. In 92.5% of cases, the crisis intervention is carried out by the same therapists they met in the emergency room with the collaboration of other members of the outpatient team. Crisis interventions are brief (less than 3 months) in 50% of cases, less than 1 years in 11.5% of cases and lead in 35% of cases to long-term in charge (more than 2 years: psychiatric and social follow-up).
