Sister back in mental hospital..

My sister got out of her first hospital way too soon. Is it common to see dr's release patients when they know they are not ready? And what does this do for the patient but confuze them.. My sister had to go get evaluated yesterday and they ended up keeping her due to her paranoid delusions, panic/anxiety, not sleeping and wanting to depend on me for way too much.
How many times has it tooken others to get it right and what do others recommend?

It sounds like your sister has more than anxiety and depression.It looks like she may have bi-polar.

She needs to be in hospital until she is evaluated and they get her meds right.

Yes because of bed space sometimes doctors are just happy with a band aid.I am glad your sister is getting better help now ,Relax for thanks giving.

Another reason might be the insurance company. My daughter has been hospitalized five times in the past eight months and each time she has been sent home too early because the insurance company has refused to authorize additional days.

This time they are being more cooperative, I guess they finally figured out that if you add all of the stays together it would have saved them a lot of money to let her stay a little longer the first time!!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
