If there is nothing in your behavior that puts you and other people in imminent danger, the therapist won't commit you. But you do need to talk about it and to have your pdoc adjust your meds. You can also go for a second opinion to check if Adderall was needed at all.

Actually, technically the therapist doesn't have the authority to commit. What they can do if they believe someone is a danger to themselves and/or others due to their mental state, they could call PET (psychiatric emergency team) to evaluate the person and the psychiatrist on the team would determine if they need to be committed. Psychiatrists as MDs have this authority, non-medical therapists don't. They could initiate emergency psych evaluation but they can't initiate hospitalization.
