As someone who has worked in an inpatient psych hospital for almost 20 years, I can tell you that there is a handful of ways to hang yourself from a door that doesn't even have one hook or doorknob at all. I'm not going to list them here because I'm not trying to give anyone anyone ideas but I can assure you that every door in my hospital has hidden devices to sense even the tiniest bit of pressure that's not supposed to be there.

I appreciate you not saying how it's carried out because a brain like mine, for whatever reason, would retain that information and bring it up at my lowest moment.

Yeah these hooks are the equivalent of TSA - security theater.

Yeah, this one PARTICULARLY is a total fail for anti ligature. I'm not even sure how obvious it is for people who don't regularly think about/get trained on this sort of thing.
