It does varry from state to state, I know where I'm at you have to have hurt or attempted harm yourself in the past 72 hours, or there is evidence that you are planning to do so within the next 72 hours. If those conditions don't apply to you then they can't commit you, and where I'm at it would still take 3 people to sigh the commitment papers. I went to he ER for some stiches, ended up getting locked up that is how I know the rules.
