@xyhhx from personal experience (being the suicidal person), if it is just extreme, acute ideation/plan-making and not "literally trying to kill oneself at that exact moment", the main benefit of going to an ER seems to be being forced to wait it out in a very boring environment, ideally sans phone, for several hours. This is a huge "your mileage may vary" but simply being in the same space/watching to make sure they don't do anything may be enough and is at least better than nothing.
