Also if she is being agressive, and she's an adult, wouldn't the hospital eventually call the police if it continues? I know teenagers who were in the hospital that eventually went to jail after their behavior issues continued for long periods of time.
Maybe she is just depressed? But then why is she not getting better with medications?
I am not trying to be a jerk, I'm just wondering what would cause an adult to be in the hospital for 2 months.

There are SO many reasons why she may still be in the hospital. Maybe she's been diagnosed with a severe enough disorder that they won't release her on her own, so they may be waiting for a bed in an assisted living facility to open up for her or family to be able to take her. They won't just discharge mental health patients.
Maybe they are searching for the appropriate medications and want her to do it under observation.
Maybe she is receiving long term treatment for trauma or addiction.
There are just so many reason she is still in the hospital. Her insurance must be approving her to stay in because the doctors have to submit for approval to keep her there every few days.
Medications don't always help depression, if that is what she has, and also, it can take a lot of trial and error to figure out which medications will help her. No two people are alike.
Is this person a friend? Are you close to her? Why are you so curious about her personal business?
