First Hand - Changing Minds
Television (Full Length Episode) – 1992
If it wasn't for this I wouldn't be sitting here. I'd be in hospital permanently. But I can lead some sort of normal lifestyle.– Patient Kevin, on the effectiveness of his treatment
It's unfortunate that with a lot of psychiatric illnesses, the textbooks will tell you, that one of the first signs of it is they don't realise that they're becoming unwell or that their behaviour's changing. And even when it's put to them that it is changing, the person will deny that.– Wayne Hussey
