Well, yes, they do. Unfortunately locking people up and saying "you are too stupid to be allowed to decide whether you want to go on living" is in fact not nice; is in fact a disgusting infringement on people's rights as people.

We do need to have better provision for getting help to people who want help, certainly - but I don't think that "forcibly prevent people from killing themselves" is anything even close to a good idea.
