This first episode is a statement of intent, having interviewed my mother about her journey with mental health from childhood to now. We talk about the dwindling support available to her and her re-diagnosis from Depression to Bipolar and now Schizoaffective Disorder. We talk about what that entails with visions and sounds, and how she copes on a daily basis. I am grateful to my mother for being so open and being able to launch the series with her. This episode is kindly supported by a-n, artists newsletter and the sound is composed by Zach Dawson. Presented by artist and activist Amelia Hawk.
