Listen Later

In part 2, Dr Benji Waterhouse breaks down what psychotic illnesses are, specifically schizophrenia. 


Benji explains what schizophrenia actually is, he shares the story of a patient who believed he was a Werewolf and how the stigma can sometimes feel worse than the illness itself. 


Plus, Benji reveals how it feels when he has to section someone, whether psychedelics could be a cure for depression and why they still use “electric shock therapy” in 2024!
