People who are actively seeking in-patient mental health treatment find they cannot receive it.

Unless somebody is in the criminal justice system and held in a hospital until they are deemed fit to aid in their defense or the clock runs out, assuming there was even space, “committed” most often means the cops taking someone to a hospital for a hold and the hospital releasing them an hour later because they have no space.

Your comment is as useless as saying people should just fly over traffic jams. It contributes nothing to solving any issues.
