Crisis
Writer Horatio Clare and psychiatrist Femi Oyebode discuss psychiatric crisis care with patients and clinicians.
Although psychiatry helped writer Horatio Clare when he was in crisis, some people in difficulty, their families, clinicians, psychologists and psychiatrists themselves will tell you there are serious questions about the ways psychiatry understands and treats people in trouble. And so this series asks a simple question: is psychiatry working. In the following series, accompanied by the psychiatrist Femi Oyebode, Horatio traces a journey through crisis, detention, diagnosis, therapy, and recovery. In this first episode they look at how psychiatry responds to those in crisis.
