In the USA, a sister or family member who lives a distance away from you can go as far as writing a statement with the police telling them you're suicidal when she feels you're not eating is causing harm to yourself; They can go into your home and inside your bedroom where you pay the bills without a warrant and take you for an emergency evaluation to a mental hospital with handcuffs. When you are there, you're being evaluated for three (3) days. Someone will be assigned to watch you take showers and eat because this in their term is referred to as a suicide watch. Immediately, the doctor assigned puts you on medication, without asking you any questions, taking your blood several times and not questioning how you feel about everything. They claim they have too many patients to attend to. They monitor you, and after three (3) days, a judge and bailiff come to the mental hospital called probate court. They give you a 'cheap free' attorney that shows up 10 mins before the kangaroo court starts and he tells you to sign yourself into the mental hospital, or else the state mental doctor tells its authorities and the judge that you need to be observed more than the stipulated time; that means more meds (The pharmaceutical companies are making billions), more suicide watch. Now, you could be in the badly conditioned roach & rat invested hospital for 90 days to 5 years for sometimes, no crime. It's called pink slipped.
