[quote=Anonymous]MD here. If he clearly verbalizes suicidal ideation, has a plan, and has access to firearms (even if removed from the home), there's a good chance he'll be admitted. It doesn't mean he'll get a bed, meaning if he's in an emergency department he'll stay there until a bed is available. And that can be days. It's about as sub-par as it gets, but that's the system we have. Still, it's better than him being at home if OP truly believes he's a risk to himself. He won't be involuntarily admitted unless OP petitions him through the magistrate with a TDO (temporary detainment order), and even then it's not a guarantee. OP I'm really sorry. This stuff is hell for families.[/quote]
