A friend at Yale medical told my brother to go inpatient/emergency to get a path into the system. Ended helping my nephew get what he needed faster which included outpatient ketamine and eventually ECT which has done miracles. He's 21 and way behind in college, but he's alive.

I second this! When I needed immediate help in NoVa, I went to the inpatient clinic at the hospital where they were able to do an assessment as well as get me an appointment with a psychiatrist quickly. Otherwise the wait for therapy was well over 2 months long.
