We know what the words 'mental illness' mean to psychiatrists or doctors. But who are the real experts? These candid interviews bring 'mental illness' to life from the inside out.

'Not only family members but all mental health professionals should read this revealing account of what it is like to be in our mental health system.' - Dr Jon Jureidini, Head, Dept Psychological Medicine, Women's and Children's Hospital, Adelaide
