This whole thread dances around one salient point. Medical danger =/= psychiatric danger. People are sent to psych wards psychiatric pathologies, not medical ones, even if the medical pathology is caused by a person's action. The ultimate question is, are the actions being caused by a psychiatric problem? If so, then it's because of the psychiatric problem that they are sent to a mental ward.
TLDR: People are sent to psychiatric wards for psychiatric reasons.
