Horatio Clare
The mental health system is in trouble. Most people who need help are receiving inadequate treatment, years behind the latest thinking. The presenters of Radio 4's acclaimed Is Psychiatry Working? examine what we do and do not know about mental illness and what does and does not help the troubled mind.
