I finally watched Episode 1 last night, and I thought it was really, really well done. I did raise similar concerns regarding the well being of these young people, and whether it's right to film them in such a fragile state of mind. But as someone has already mentioned it can be taken in more than one way. I guess they could just choose not to watch it in the future, at least not until they are well enough to take it all in. I was on BBC radio last year to discuss mental health in young people, and I was absolutely mortified that the presenter revealed to the World that I was on anti-depressants, because my mum then found out in the most awkward way ever. From that perspective, I can understand that fear of it now being out there even though I don't take them anymore. But I just choose to never go back and listen to the recording, and that's what's best for me.
I appreciate a TV documentary is slightly different though. But nonetheless. This is very insightful, especially for someone who has experienced quite a lot in the mental health field but never hospital. I'm glad they decided to make it and I look forward to the next episode.
