The problem with getting yourself committed (if you can even do this), is that ECT needs more time than the commitment period. So say they commit you due to suicidality for a week and start you on ECT on an emergency basis, without insurance paying. What do you do at the end of the week? ECT is usually a several week course of treatment. You can't expect much improvement until session 8 or so.
