Are there any countries that have outlawed involuntary commitment for mental disorders?

Today people can get abducted and thrown in asylums for crimes that they MIGHT commit by a psychiatrists snap of the finger. Are there any civilizations that have outlawed this? Or what rights are taken away. Can you source it?
