S1/E8 Mental health, asking for help

About support for complex mental health.

Cel takes a revealing look at what it's like to get intensive care from child and adolescent mental health services, meeting young people who've stayed in adolescent mental health hospital during extreme periods of depression, anxiety and psychosis. Our young panelists speak honestly about their experiences of complex mental health conditions and how they made their first brave steps towards asking for help. Supported by specialist from CAMHS they're discussing what it can be like to realise you are living with a condition like autism, Asperger's Disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, bi-polar disorder (BPD) or hair-pulling disorder.

This eye-opening half-hour is a compelling insight into an often misunderstood aspect of teenage healthcare.
