As a consultant psychiatrist in the NHS I have spent 25 years treating the bravest and strongest people you could ever meet. They are battling through unimaginable suffering, sometimes deciding to continue living only because they do not want to hurt family and friends and tolerating the deficiencies of services and treatments.
During the past six months I have had the privilege of participating in the BBC documentary My Baby, Psychosis and Me with a group of women who have capped this bravery with an extraordinary and humbling altruism – by volunteering to share their experiences at the most vulnerable time in their lives.
