Wasn't trying to be mean or rude with my original post, but if you are feeling suicidal, a home visit from a doctor would end up with you hospitalized anyway.

While it feels like an ambulance is extreme, if you are unable to get yourself to a hospital and are suicidal, that is a time for extreme measures. Just like if you were having a heart attack, the ambulance would be needed Just because it's a mental issue does not mean that it is any less important.
