More and more Australians are experiencing the effects of mental illness, either directly or indirectly. One Australian in ten will receive treatment in a psychiatric hospital during his or her life. Every day a hundred people attempt suicide. This series of four programs sets out to show, in an informative and sensitive way, what mental illness is, its effects, and the most common treatments. The four episodes are followed by a special discussion program, compered by Huw Evans and series producer Mark Hamlyn.
