Suicidal and/or mentally ill people should not just be forced into a hospital or institution every time they express their feelings. There’s a way to talk someone down usually just being there for them. Shoving someone away into a hospital makes them oftentimes fear talking about their feelings due to the threat of the hospital.

Reminder: talking is power

And someone who is majorly depressed and expresses they'd wish they could just not wake up, or something like that, doesn't mean they are actively suicidal. If you think someone may be suicidal, you should trust a psych to determine that. But some mental health professionals will take the easy way and lock them up and make things worse.

First do no harm.

@Puck this is such a good addition to what I said. Thank you.
