If she has tried only two meds, really...that's just getting started. I completely agree with SM, unless she is suicidal, an in-patient stay is just not the place for her. A two week stay would be of little benefit in stablizing her on a medication, since it can take 6-8 weeks for a medication to become fully effective. Is your friend seeing a therapist in addition to a psychiatrist? Most people see the psychiatrist (pdoc) for meds, and a therapist (T) for the talk therapy.

You are a good friend to be so concerned.
