*TRIGGER WARNING - This episode features detailed discussions around schizoaffective disorder, psychosis and sectioning under the Mental Health Act*
The NHS reports that, between 2021 and 2022, there were a staggering 53,337 new detentions under the Mental Health Act.
For those who haven't experienced being sectioned, it's difficult to imagine.
On this episode of Modern Men, I speak to James Lindsay about his experiences with schizoaffective disorder and psychosis. James is a mental health advocate, author of the brand new book 'Befriending My Brain', out on 2nd March 2022, and Senior Marketing & Wellbeing Access Officer at Hertfordshire Mind Network.
James explores what led to his first experiences of psychosis and how it culminated in his sectioning. Plus, he takes us back to his school days, how anxiety affected him and how being a man made things harder.
