No, the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution guarantees that no person shall be deprived of life or limb (incarceration) without due process. You can only be incarcerated in a mental institution by a judge. There is one exception; most states will hold someone for 72 hours to conduct a mental evaluation of a person who has attempted to commit suicide.

Is being institutionalized and incarcerated in a mental hospital the same thing?
Institutionalization is the act of being placed in a psychiatric hospital, which is often referred to politely as an "institution". Incarceration is the detention of a person in jail, typically as punishment for a crime. This being said, someone could be incarcerated into a psychiatric hospital, but only if they committed a crime. Otherwise, it would be described as Institutionalization, because they did not do anything wrong, they are only being sent to the institution because of their mental state.

Is being a doctor a physical job or mental job?
I would say both. Really, this is the same for most jobs. Only "most" jobs because you might say that being a carpenter, painter or landscaper, ETC, would be more of a physical job and being someone like a physcologist would be more of a mental job. But being a doctor requires lots of thought, especially if you are working in a hospital or in the ER, and it also requires doing lots of things, especially if your a surgeon or helping in a surgery. I suppose if I had to choose I would say it is more of a mental job though, because being a doctor takes lots of knowledge.
