I think for an accurate diagnosis you see to see someone for more than a few minutes. Doctors don't usually commit someone unless they are a danger to themselves or others and I think it often takes 2 doctors to agree that is the case before they will commit you.
I'm sorry you went through a bad experience. Can you go to the family centre for domestic abuse again? I don't have any experience with domestic abuse, but maybe you have to keep trying to get some help. Don't give up. There are people trained to help you out there.
You mentioned that you are not sure if there is something wrong with you. I think there is no harm in seeing a psychiatrist or therapist or something. Just be truthful. They are there to help you out, not your husband.
