'being committed'

Hi, I need to ask a question. Please help.

"She told me about her mother being committed when she
was nine years old."

What does 'committed' mean in this sentence? Could you please explain it in other words?

Thanks in advance.

" Her mother was mentally unbalanced. Her family had her put in a mental institution for treatment. It was probably for a long period of time, and it made a deep impression on the speaker.
