To open BBC2's season of programmes on mental health, journalist Marjorie Wallace, the founder of the charity Sane, explores the fragile world of mental illness and argues for a more compassionate understanding of the nature of psychosis.
She looks behind recent headlines to reveal some shocking and preventable tragedies, such as the stabbing of care worker Georgina Robinson by a schizophrenic patient, and looks in hope to a future of better research and treatments.
The programme features a contribution by HRH the Prince of Wales, who is the patron of Sane.
