Man, what. Psychiatrists have to commit you if they think you're an immediate danger to yourself. I'm sure shitty ones do it in situations where they shouldn't, but speaking as someone who has actually experienced being suicidal, my psychiatrist was the only person I actually fully trusted to help me get what I needed.
Maybe I'm just lucky to have ended up with psychs who will take on more risk to avoid having to commit people, but it's at least a little more complicated than you imply.
