'diaries of a broken mind'

i highly recommend this new tv i've been watching. it's on bbc three and it's called 'diaries of a broken mind'. it's about the lives of 25 young adults who all have some form of mental illness; ranging from bipolar, depression to anxiety disorders. everything is filmed by themselves and everything is from their point of view. they show us what their illness is, how it affects their lives,and those of their loved ones, their opinions on mental illness and its treatment. 

this show has really confirmed that this is something i want to be involved in. i've made action for volunteering for SANE, a mental health charity. not only does it campaign against the stigma against mental health disorders; but also provides a range of outlets for those with mental illnesses to become aware of their condition, find out where to receive help and also peer support. they use helplines, email support and also several peer forums.

seriously, watch it. it is one of the most real and enlightening programmes i have watched. click the link below, or find it on bbc iplayer.
