What does it feel like to lose your mind and can you get it back again? In seeking to answer these questions, Andrew Denton journeys into the world of mental illness, a world that’s often invisible because – in our fear – we choose to look away.
Starting at the 2007 Annual Mental Health Services Conference in Melbourne, Andrew meets people from many walks of life who have struggled with severe mental illness. The stories of these “ghosts in our midst” are frank, surprising and deeply moving.
Angels and Demons provides a rare insight into the experiences of those with mental illness. Deeply confronted, Andrew discovers the possibility of a better life for people often dismissed as beyond hope.
