Not these days... I know 2 women recently who have massively overdosed, neither of whom were sectioned. The NHS no longer has enough beds in mental health units to section every suicide attempt. A sad state of the NHS at the moment, if money is needed for Med/Surg it is taken from Mental Health and Maternity Services.
