You wont get into legal trouble, at 17 you are not considered a runaway, your mom can call the cops all she wants but the cannot force you to come home, its one of the perks of almost being 18. So Yes you can leave [and you wont go to a psych ward.. idk wtf that person was talking about] but make sure you are prepared, such as money and a place to live and probably a car or bus pass.

Sounds like my mom and I a few years ago... Leaving now while you are not an adult would allow her to report you missing as soon as she knows. The cops would get involved, and that's never pretty. My friend in high school left and the cops found her getting on a bus (she used her parents' credit card) and she ended up in the psyche ward for 3 days. Best idea is to try as hard as you can to work it out with your mom. I know it's hard, trust me I've been there, but in the end it's better than causing a rift between the two of you. I stuck it out until college started and our relationship improved immensely. My mother now considers me one of her best friends... not really ideal for me because I have to hear about her boyfriend, but it's much better than the constant screaming matches. When I was still living at home we tried some family counseling, which might have worked if my mom had been more receptive to it back then. We still go to some appointments when I'm home for breaks and things are going well.
Good luck, I hope it all works out well for you.
