If a person doesn't seek help willingly, then it's fighting an uphill battle. Especially once you get into things like the locked behavioral wings because, while those can be helpful, it's also a very rough situation to lose your freedom.
For reference, my little sister went into one because she was seriously contemplating suicide. And while she went in willingly, the fact that she was locked in there
and denied her accomative devices because they could be used to harm someone if broken was terrifying to her and she became desperate to get out after only a couple days.
Sad truth is, I don't think there is or can be a perfect solution. But making access to mental health care easier is a fucking mandatory start.
