Not that I know of. It's nearly impossible I didn't even attempt to sue the one that locked me up for 2 years. Here's a guy who spent 20 years locked up after a misdiagnosis and his lawsuit was thrown out:

A federal appeals court has affirmed the dismissal of a lawsuit brought by a Florida man against doctors at Nebraskas psychiatric hospital, where he was held for 20 years on a misdiagnosis....The appeals court also said that the doctors he sued are entitled to qualified immunity because they worked for the state.

Dismissal of suit by man wrongly held in psych ward upheld
The hospital I was in was so bad that it got decertificated and stayed that way for 8 years before it got shut down. But I still don't know anyone who was able to sue it.
