Inpatient Psychiatric Care is 6.7% of All Hospital Admissions in the United States.

The Main Reasons for Inpatient Psychiatric Care Are Suicidal or Homicidal Ideations.

The Most Common Psychiatric Conditions Leading to Inpatient Psychiatric Care are Mood Disorders Such as Depression and Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia.

There Are Not Enough Inpatient Psychiatric Beds in Many Parts of America, Causing Some Patients to Have to Wait as Long as 2 Weeks in the ER Waiting for Admission.

Because of Low Reimbursement, Hospitals Have Cut Back Their Psychiatric Care.

However, Some Hospitals Choose to Spend Billions on New Construction or Private Equity Funds, Rather Than Maintaining or Expanding Inpatient Psychiatric Care.
