Pelley last november 19, Virginia State senator creigh deeds was slashed and stabbed repeatedly by his own son. Gus deeds was 24 years old and had been struggling with mental illness. He and his father had been in an emergency room just hours before the attack, but didnt get the help that they needed. The story of what went wrong with his medical care exposes a problem in the way that america handles Mental Health. Its a failure that came to the fore with the murders at sandy hook elementary school. The vast majority of mental patients are not violent, but this is a story about the fraction who are a danger to themselves or others. Parents of mentally ill children in crisis often find, as senator deeds did, that they have nowhere to go. Creigh deeds bears the scars of this failure on his face, his body, and his soul. Creigh deeds i really dont want gus to be defined by his illness. I dont want gus to be defined by what happened on the 19th. Gus was. Was a great kid. He was. He was perfect son. You know, its clear the system failed. Its clear that it failed gus. It killed gus. Pelley we met creigh deeds four weeks after the attack. He was still distraught. But he told us his story was a warning that could not wait. What would have saved gus . Deeds if he could have been hospitalized that night, they could have gotten him medicated, and i could have worked to get gus in some sort of longterm care. Pelley this is gus deeds when he was 20 years old, a talented musician on the deans list at the college of william and mary. Deeds gus, when he turned 20, i was running for governor. He wanted to come, and so he took the fall of 2009 off to be with me. And those are some of the best memories of my life is having him with me there. Pelley but after the campaign, for no reason anyone could see, gus deeds stopped taking care of himself and became paranoid, obsessive, antisocial. He dropped out and couldnt keep a job. In 2011, he was diagnosed as bipolar. His father was so worried that gus would kill himself, deeds told us he got rid of all of the guns in their rural farmhouse, except one hunting rifle that had no ammunition. Later, with medication, gus returned to william and mary, until last fall. Deeds gus had posted weird things on his Facebook Page about, you know, how the professors were ganging up against him, and he was going to start boycotting class. It was pretty clear to me that he wasnt taking medicine. I told gus that he and i needed to talk to somebody together. Pelley thats when deeds discovered that talking to somebody getting treatment is harder in Mental Health than any other kind of medicine. In the decades after the 1960s, most large mental institutions were closed. It was thought that patients would get better treatment back in their communities. But adequate local facilities were never built. The number of beds available to psychiatric patients in america dropped from more than half a million to fewer than 100,000. That leaves many kids in crisis today with one option, the emergency room. Brian geyser you know, every day, we have ten to 20 kids with psychiatric problems come into our Emergency Department, kids who want to kill themselves, whove tried to kill themselves, whove tried to kill somebody else. Pelley brian geyser is a Nurse Practitioner we met in the Emergency Department of Yale New Haven Hospital in connecticut. Its one of the best in the nation in psychiatry. Geyser we have 52 psychiatric beds here at yale, and right now, all 52 are full. And so the seven kids that are here in the emergency room are waiting for an open bed. Pelley how long will they wait . Geyser five of them have been here three days already. Pelley most every day, the beds are full of patients in crisis. 17yearold tyler wrightington was waiting in the e. R. He had just slashed his face with a knife. You hear voices . Tyler wrightington yes. A new voice came about a year ago. And he. Well, i call it a he because it was more of a deeper voice. But he ended up telling me to hurt myself and making me find ways to hurt myself. Pelley do the voices ever tell you to hurt someone else . Tyler wrightington only once, and that was at school. And they. And that was when i got admitted into the hospital, because i was actually considering hurting the people around me. And i was. I was like, this aint me. This is not what i want to do. Pelley tylers dad, ernie wrightington, had called a psychiatrist that week, but couldnt get an appointment for three months. Theres a National Shortage of psychiatrists. Why is there not another option for you . Ernie wrightington this has always been our only option. Pelley the emergency room. Ernie wrightington the emergency room, yeah. Because the. We know that when we come here. They take the time to take care of him. They sit and watch him, make sure hes okay. Pelley but okay usually means okay for the moment. Typically, Insurance Companies pay for this care only as long as the patients are at imminent risk of harming themselves or others. Geyser some Insurance Companies will give us a couple of days, a few days before they ask us to call them back to get reauthorization for the admission. Some of them are every single day that we have to call. And so usually, you know, were talking about, you know, three to four days, and the Insurance Companies are saying, all right, you know, its time. Lets get this kid out. Pelley because theyre not going to kill themselves or someone else right now. Geyser right now, yeah. Pelley many patients need care for months or years. But there are few facilities of that kind, theyre expensive, and often insurance wont cover them. So kids in crisis spin in the Emergency Rooms revolving door. I want to go home geyser we need to be able to set up a system where we follow these kids into the community, we follow the families, we make sure that they have a safety net, and somebodys watching them and monitoring them, because, you know, it could be next month, it could be six months from now, and the child will do something again. But if they are not hooked into a system that is watching them, taking care of them, then we could have problems on our hands. Pelley how many of you have had to take your child to the emergency room . Everybody. How many times . Mary jo andrews i cant count. Meg clancy i couldnt count. Pelley seven connecticut mothers, including mary jo andrews, meg clancy, and dee orsi, told us about their e. R. Crises and battles over insurance. Dee orsi my daughter, after spending. She was eight at the time spending 12 days in the hospital, they told me she was ready to come home. By friday morning, we were in the psychiatrists office for her followup appointment. She was seeing blood dripping from the walls. There were statues telling her to kill me, and she was ready for discharge three days earlier. Clancy we had one with an Insurance Company. They wanted to discharge my daughter. She needed to stay where she was safe, and the Insurance Company would not pay for her to stay, and so i was told by our social worker in the hospital that if i gave my daughter up to department of children and families, that then she would have Insurance Coverage through the state and she would be allowed to stay. Pelley wait a minute give. Give. Clancy give her up. Pelley give her up to the state . Clancy correct. Give her up to the state. Pelley and you said what . Clancy absolutely not. Pelley they formed this support group because so few people understand their troubles. For example, they share the names of contractors to repair walls or remove doors. Their children punch holes in the dry wall, and cant be allowed to lock themselves in a room. What is the difference between being the mother of a child who has mental illness, and the mother of a child who might have Heart Disease or cancer . Clancy sympathy. Pelley being in connecticut, they watched the tragedy at sandy hook elementary with more insight than most. Referring to the killers mother, one of them told us, if nancy lanza had a Health Care Plan for her son, she couldnt have made it work. Andrews theres really no place after the hospital, so the kids end up coming back home, right where the situation started. And you know, the psychiatrists and the hospital will say, youre right, the system is broken. And i remember at one discharge, i refused to sign the discharge paper because i wasnt going to agree that it was appropriate. Pelley they discharged your child anyway . Andrews oh, yeah, yes. Pelley that is essentially what happened to creigh deeds in virginia last november. But his effort was further complicated by the fact that his son gus was an adult, over 18, and gus didnt want treatment. Deeds had to get a court order and sheriffs deputies to take gus to the e. R. A state law, designed to protect patients rights, meant that the court order would expire in only six hours. Thats all they had to find a hospital that would admit him. Deeds whole afternoon, gus didnt sit down. He paced the floor. Hed look at me, hed smile. And i just had this sinking feeling that he wasnt going to be hospitalized. Pelley and if you didnt find a hospital bed in six hours, gus was coming home. Deeds he was coming home. And i was concerned that if he came home, there would. There was going to be a crisis. Pelley a representative of the county agency that manages Mental Health care told deeds that he couldnt find a hospital with a psychiatric bed appropriate for gus case. Youre concerned that your son is suicidal, the clock has run out on the emergency room, and he comes in and says, sorry, youve got to leave . Deeds well, the. He said that gus wasnt suicidal. I guess hed made. Pelley based on his evaluation. Deeds his evaluation that gus wasnt suicidal. Pelley what did you say to him, in leaving the emergency room . Deeds i said, the system failed my son tonight. Pelley there was no place to go but home. Deeds and he sat at one end of the dining room table. I sat at the other end. I ate my food, and he just was writing furiously in this journal he kept. Not much conversation, and i said, good night, bud. I didnt know what was going to happen. But, the next morning, you know, i felt like thered be a confrontation, but i didnt. I had no reason to think thered be violence. And. But, you know, i. I got ready for work, and i went out to the barn to feed the horses, and gus was coming across the yard and he was. I said, hey, bud, howd you sleep . He said, fine. I turned my back and, you know. I turned my back. Had this feed thing in my hands, and. And he was just on me. Pelley he attacked you. Deeds he. He got me twice, you know, stabbed me twice. Pelley with a knife . Deeds the state police told me they found a knife. I turned around and said, bud, whats going on . I said. And he just kept coming at me. I said, gus, i love you so much. I said, dont make this any worse than it is. He just kept coming at me. And he just kept. I mean, you know, i. I was. I was bleeding a good bit but, you know, he turned around and he started walking toward the house. Pelley deeds staggered away. A neighbor found him. A helicopter ambulance was called. Deeds when i was in the rescue squad or in the helicopter somewhere, id heard about some. You know, some call came over the scanner that thered been somebody with a gunshot wound to the head. Pelley the gunshot victim was gus. Deeds oh, yeah. Pelley gus had killed himself. He had found or bought ammunition for that last rifle, the unloaded rifle, that deeds had kept in the house. You were describing the last night in which he was writing feverishly in this notebook before you said good night. Did you go back and look at that . Deeds i did. Pelley what was he writing . Deeds he had determined that i. I had to die, that i was an evil man, that he was going to execute me and then he was going to go straight to heaven. Pelley creigh deeds has now returned to the virginia senate. Hes introduced bills to, among other things, extend emergency custody in an e. R. From six to 24 hours, and to create a computer database to list all the open psychiatric beds statewide. Deeds theres just a lack of equity in the way we as a society, and certainly as a government and insurance industry, medical industry, with the way we look at Mental Health issues. Pelley dont want to fund it. Dont want to talk about it. Dont want to see it. Deeds absolutely. That. Thats exactly right. But. But the reality is, its everywhere. Pelley youve told us in this interview again and again that you dont want gus to be defined by what happened in those few seconds on that day. Deeds i want people to remember the brilliant, friendly, loving kid that was gus deeds. Well use gus, i hope, to address Mental Health, and to make sure that other people dont have to suffer through this. Pelley the state of virginia is investigating why there was no hospital bed for gus deeds that night. Nationwide, since 2008, states have cut 4. 5 billion from Mental Health care funding.
