For some reason suicide is illegal. If someone is going or trying to commit suicide and get talked down are they still in trouble or get locked up or sent to a medical facility?

Effectively, yes, as long as the “”“right”“” person talks them down. Say bye bye to ever having an independent, normal life afterwards.

I’m not sure what you’re implying, but this has not been my experience in the US. Which country are you referring to?

After I was released, there were no follow ups or anything like that. It wasn’t exactly easy to get back on my feet, but I’ve been living a normal and independent life for years.
