our reporter adam eley has been to meet lissa, who says her experience made her condition worse. some viewers may find her descriptions upsetting. i had a little bit of depression from when i was a kid and then, when i lost my dad, that was a tricky time. i'd gone through a lot of trauma. by 2019, lissa from coventry had been in and out of hospital struggling with her mental health. the nhs decided to centre for treatment at a specialist rehabilitation unit. i was desperate. i had no other choice. but the hospital she was sent to run by company cygnet health care was in special measures at the time. there had been two deaths in the previous 20 months. some believe the nhs should never have sent her there. i struggle with us having the knowledge that the environment is rated as inadequate and thinking that is the best place to confine the people

lissa's mental health deteriorated within the unit.nths. i was there to be able to get better and i felt that i came away, like, worse. a bbc investigation has found some patients are placed within units for a decade or more. many experts want a greater focus on community care. there are significant amounts of money, around half a billion pounds, spent on this cohort of people. when people are supported in their community it is less expensive and, obviously, from a patient experience perspective, people want to live in the community. the government says it is rolling out integrated community mental health teams to give 370,000 people with severe mental illness greater choice. lissa left her unit after nine months, after taking her case to a mental health tribunal. i felt like i won the lottery, that i was going home. cygnet health care says its aim is always to create a culture that supports recovery. lissa is now back at university and enjoying her hobbies, like boxing. really happy with just being able to take that step away from hos
