Young people are being admitted to adult wards — a practice flagged for years — risking further trauma and isolation. One patient suffered an allergic reaction after being restrained and sedated without explanation; another teen was excessively medicated, cut off from family, and readmitted hours later. Despite claims that placements are only made when necessary, independent reviews show young patients are often discharged too soon, increasing readmission risks. Visitors and survivors alike say the unit feels more like an institution than a healing space — sparking urgent calls for reform.
