A watchdog body has criticised the support offered to mental health patients in Wales, claiming some feel coerced into treatment.
Healthcare Inspectorate Wales (HIW) also found outdated consent forms, security breaches and patients not being made aware of their rights.
Mental health charity Mind Cymru said it had serious concerns that the needs of patients were not central.
The Welsh government said it would consider the report's findings.
