According to psychodynamic theory, certain personality types are more prone to certain illnesses. The more aggressive personality is more prone to cardiovascular disease. The quiet, uncomplaining, overburdened person may suffer from ulcers, joint problems, or skin rashes.

Inpatient services provide intensive therapy and support for clients with acute and chronic mental health disorders as well as those in crisis situations, and they usually require short stays. The goal is to transition the client from the facility to the community. Depression and bipolar disorder are specific disorders that are not necessarily seen more frequently than other disorders within an inpatient setting.
