Hospitals lack a systematic way to manage emotionally dysregulated adult patients without dementia, leading to disruptive behavior, safety risks, and untreated anxiety.

Psych consults are avoided because they may extend patient stays, and medications like Ativan are withheld due to perceived personality issues; no tool exists to assess and de-escalate emotional dysregulation in cognitively intact patients without triggering insurance or length-of-stay concerns.
