My husband needed to be hospitalized in the psychiatric ward at Portland Adventist Hospital. He is very underweight for his height besides being bipolar. They have not been giving him his medications as prescribed by psychiatrists he has seen for over 20 years. Therefore, he has not been able to sleep for the past two nights that he has been there. He desperately needs to gain weight, but since they have not given him his medications, he has absolutely no appetite. The one medication used to treat his bipolar also helps him with severe headaches that he used to get. Within the next couple of days, these headaches are going to return. This country does not take mental health seriously enough, but I thought that a psychiatric ward in a hospital would know what they are doing. Clearly, that is not the case here at Portland Adventist. I would not suggest them to my worst enemy. They need to shut down the psych ward if they can't do any better than this.
