Actually this guy may have had MORE business after ADAM started being used (all kinds of internal distress cause by scrambling someones RNA and body tissues).
No doubt, even MORE ADAM then might be needed to help repair the almost invisible damage done first by EARLY crude fad ADAM products, and then by the more complex general consumer product ones.
Fontaine wouldn't have cared, but people in Rapture really wouldn't be so ignorant or unconcerned as the writers tried to imply - even when the lying Atlas/Fontaine left most of that story vague or avoided.

Head Cases :
Postcard from The Persephone City Asylum (these were used to advertise, way back when they weren't what you saw in "One Flew Over The Cuckoos's Nest", instead 'Moral Treatment' was applied to the inmates)
In the US by 1948 1 out of 263 people in the US were in a State Hospital Mental Asylums (and additional others were in private institutions). Rapture likely would have some similar ratio -- that's about 80 'normal' crazies for a 20000 city population (and double that for a later 40K population).
Old time asylums were self-supporting, as were many jails (that's why the farm modules are on my map).
Ryan would definitely want some self-sufficiency to limit city expenses.

SO in reality (the real story) : The Columbia State Hospital (in Rapture) is full of crazies on a 'New' treatment (with hilarious results ...) Bizarre delusions seen through the eyes of one Booker Dewitt, a broken down drunkard and drug abuser. Yes, Sofia Lamb WOULD have made a good Nurse Ratchet.
Electroshock Mini-Game !!!
