“…Esto es consistente con otros estudios que han reportado una mayor frecuencia de visitas a la emergencia por problemas psiquiátricos en mujeres en comparación con hombres (15,16) . No obstante, este resultado puede variar dependiendo de algunas características de la atención, por ejemplo, se ha documentado un mayor porcentaje de pacientes varones cuando hay participación policial (17) o se encuentran varios días en emergencia en espera de una cama hospitalaria (18) . Por otro lado, es llamativo que más de la mitad de los pacientes hayan estado desempleados en el momento de su atención en la unidad de psiquiatría de emergencia.…”

Not surprisingly, emergency department (ED) visits for behavioral health concerns have also been rising, and without adequate inpatient resources to care for those youth with more severe and acute behavioral health concerns, patients may spend days in an ED before being admitted to an appropriate inpatient facility ( 14 ). The shortage and maldistribution of licensed behavioral health care providers ( 15 , 16 ) and inadequate insurance networks for behavioral health ( 17 ) both contribute to the difficulty children and families face in accessing timely treatment.…”
