Nope.  Telling someone they are crazy is not practicing psychiatry
anymore than noticing someone has flat feet is practicing podiatry.
Some people exhibit obvious enough symptoms for a layperson to provide
a rough diagnosis.
The purpose of certifying psychiatry is to restrict those who offer
services to others as such, and to control prescribing of drugs to
those with suitable training.
To institutionalise a person (in my country, not sure about yours) you
need both a medical practitioner and a justice of the peace, a
magistrate, or a judge.
Psychiatrists as medical practitioners, still need the assistance of
at least a JP.
In no way are psychiatrists required by law to institutionalise
everyone they find to be insane.  And in fact they would be required
to sign their name to a statement that they believe the person is a
danger to themselves or others.  Not, so much that they are mentally
ill.

I'm wondering what your obsession with institutionalisation is about.
