Filmed inside one of the busiest Psychiatric Units in the country, the documentary uncovers the realities of 21st century mental health treatment as we meet the patients and staff who are challenging, with humour and honesty, the stigma and taboos that exist around Mental Health. For the first time television cameras were allowed inside a Mental Health ward in Australia. We film electroconvulsive therapy to modern psychiatric drug regimes, the proceedings of the Mental Health Review Tribunal and see the legal process that allows unwell people be held against their will whilst being treated. By showing what actually happens we hope to increase awareness and better understanding of mental illness. The series follows the journeys back to health of patients unwell at the time of their admittance.
