Linda goes onto reflect on her life so far, highlighted by various personal experiences being a mental health patient. Vivid thoughts of what was going on in her head when psychotic to feelings of deepest despair when depressed. An insider's view of a mental health ward; and the alternative of being treated at home by the Crisis and Treatment team. (CATT).
