A study of 230 patients with bipolar I disorder whose symptoms were severe enough to warrant admission to a Rhode Island psychiatric hospital in 2010 reveals that more than a third were there despite taking four or more psychiatric medications. Including medicines for other conditions, such as cardiometabolic diseases, the average patient came to the hospital taking six different drugs.Holy Headsmack Batman, they are obviously NOT HELPING.
Update: Maybe that's because the goal is "symptom management" not "effective health care".
