Hi. I also wanted to encourage you as much as you can to try to take her to the hospital yourself. Yesterday I had to have a severely depressed client of mine hospitalized against her will. It was a big scene to say the least. She didn't want to go with me voluntarily so I had to call 911. 10 police officers showed up, along with 3 other EMT's..... and they were these big huge guys (she's like 5'1). She became extremely irate when this happened and they had to cuff her and drag her out of her apartment kicking and screaming, literally. All the neighbors were gathered around watching the whole ordeal. I know she was embarrassed, as was I. These are situations we hope to avoid but when someone is threatening to kill themselves, we need to take them seriously.
