David Harewood: Psychosis and Me

-

(BBC2, 9pm-10pm)

Best known for his roles in US dramas Homeland and Supergirl, David Harewood MBE is one of Britain’s best known and well-respected actors. However, what many people may not realise is that when he was 23 years old, he had a psychotic breakdown and was sectioned. Now, in this film, David pieces together what happened to him in the hope that it will help him and other people better understand the misconcept­ions around psychosis. He hears from people who are going through their own mental health crises and meets two inspiratio­nal young people from an Early Interventi­on drop-in group in Solihull.
