To think age has no bearing on being detained under the mental health act

My dd 23 has been detained under the mental health act. This is her first admission but has struggled with her mental health for many years. The nurse today told me that if I wasn’t for her age as they view her as more vulnerable she probably wouldn’t have been sectioned. I feel this was quite invalidating as surely once people are adults the same criteria applies.
