You are incorrect. People can be hospitalized if they admit themselves, the criteria of a danger to themselves or others is for involuntary commitment.

I just know if a working class person person admits themselves in my area, they will be released within days even with struggles relating to suicide. I was told on multiple occasions that I would be released within 72 hours when I considered admitting myself in the past. They also do not consider intense levels of depression or anxiety worthy of admission unless there are active suicidal thoughts and plans. I reported suicidal ideation many times, and they never considered me a danger or in need of more care. Obviously, a senator will probably receive better care than someone living in a low income area.
