No your doctor cannot have you committed, he may strongly suggest that you have treatment for your own benefit, but only if you agree!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You can't get commited forever for being suicidal!. What could happen is he could put you in a mental hospital, which is NEVER permanent!. I used to be suicidal, and I was only in there for 4 days! Trust me!.!.it will be okay!. Don't worry!. Your life will not be spent locked up in an insane ward!Www@Answer-Health@Com
