I thought that's what the answer would be. Psychiatrists here wouldn't admit someone to hospital on grounds like this though, it woud be a waste of money. They would only go that far if you made repeated suicidal threats and gestures, and even then you might actually have to make a suicide attempt to get a hospital bed. A pdoc once threatened to have me sectioned if I persisted in saying I was suicidal, but that's all it was - a threat, and the only effcet it had was to make me stop reporting my suicidal feelings, which might have been the intended effect.
