The barrier to being "committed" is extremely high. Getting committed generally requires a patient to endorse a desire and a plan to harm themselves, or to temporarily be so disorganized that they cannot safely be in the community. The author does endorse a history of suicidality, but the description of the relationship with Abilify comes across as one where it is being offered in the context of a depression relapse. If she had voiced concerns in her article that she would be committed if she didn't try Abilify, that would be germane, but the article didn't seem to raise such concerns.
