In my country you have to be an imminent danger to yourself or others. Even then the police might release you after questioning, because they might not recognize you are delusional or psychotic. In the case you do end up in psych ward, you are free to walk out unless the psychiatrist gets a court order. Also, every time they put someone in restraints, it has to be documented. The worst thing is meds like haldol, that make you a walking zombie, and are hard to recover from and can cause nasty side effects.
