^^^I think mental health professionals can commit someone longer than a 72 hour hold. It does take wrangling, but it is my understanding there are the 2 week programs to rehabilitate and stabilize the patient... All meds will attempted with a series of psych, laboratory and blood tests, daily.
I don't know why this young man felt that is necessary to post on a webcam his impending suicide. And why others felt necessary to goad this poor individual on. But, there are telltale signs when someone is having an online mental health problem.
I have created a place where folks who desire it can discuss all sorts of mental health issues. If interested, please PM me.
