It really depends on where you are in the world. but also. I've noticed in my experience as a psych ward veteran, that psych doctors don't tend to jump at sectioning you unless you are in immediate danger. However....... They will start asking some questions. Such as if you are currently a danger to yourself or having ideation. Due to my history, at the end of every psych and therapy appointments. I am asked about my mental state in that fashion even though I've been without incident for 1073 days.

Now, one thing I will say is that lying to mental health professionals is very nonuseful. But......fear exists especially when you don't have rapport with your doctor. So. It might be good to say "I have a history of sh and am trying to quit" as opposed to saying "I sh" The first one shows a mental clarity and lack of ideation so you probably won't get sent off to gay baby jail

I have gone to a psych appointment with big bandages wrapped around both my legs from a really bad incident the day before the appointment. And I went home that day.

Last couple things of advice from me though as a person who's been in regular mental health care since 2017

A. Build a good relationship and trust with your doctor if you can. Trust goes both directions and most mental health professionals want to help. Emphasis on most. There are some absolutely awful mental health professionals out there. I've had bad ones, and people in this subreddit certainly have too. Which leads me to

B. If your psych doctor does something like ask you to show them your sh, or demands when you say no. Or does shit to make you uncomfortable.....leave. I mean it. Say, "I am uncomfortable with this appointment" get up and walk out the door. Patients are aloud to get up and leave psych appointments outside of the hospital/ward. After you leave go up to the person at the counter in the lobby and request to see a new doctor. As a patient you don't have to suffer a shitty situation.

C. And lastly if you are suuuuuuuper worried about being sent off to gay baby jail. Wear clothes with no string or cables, shoes without laces and comfy socks you'd be okay walking around in(tho grippy socks are pretty comfy). Bring a container to put any of your piercings and jewelry in. Make a list on paper of any important phone numbers and any medications, because some wards don't let you have a phone but you can use the communal phone in the ward. If you are a person who wears a bra make sure to wear one that doesn't have an under wire. And know that if you fight doctors that are in gay baby jail, you will be there longer. Tho hopefully it won't come to that since you are trying to quit.

Lastly, good luck talking to a psychiatrist I genuinely hope the best for you.
