This is a podcast about psychosis. Rarely spoken about, psychosis is often hidden out of sight in the mental health conversation, we hope this podcast will throw it into the limelight and get people talking about one of the most stigmatised mental illness symptoms. Due to the nature of psychosis we will probably cover some fairly serious topics in this podcast. Trigger warning for topics such as psychosis, suicide attempts, self-harm, eating disorders and other similar areas. Please only listen if you feel you are in the right mindset to hear about these kinds of issues.

Biploar, psychosis and "Living at the Speed of Light"

Today I am chatting with Katie.

Katie is a freelance writer, mental health speaker, advocate, and the author of Living at the Speed of Light. They also happen to have biploar disorder and experience psychosis as part of this, including grandiose delusions that have resulted in Katie being hit be a car not once but TWICE

In todays episode we discuss all sorts from Star Trek and the portrayal of mental illness, to the way that the health system reacts to psychosis and the idea of having insight.
