If the mental health professional then decides you should be involuntarily committed or detained in a mental health facility, you're screwed.
I applaud the motives behind #itsoktotalk but if you do talk and they strip you of any decision making, then this campaign will fail. The result of talking about thoughts of suicide very often leaves the sufferer in a mental health facility - or waiting for hours in a stressful ER room (or worse) and you won't be seen to at all.

The hashtag should be #itsnotoktotalk
