TV - Don't Call Me Crazy

Monday 24th June
BBC Three

More than half a million young people in the UK are being treated for mental illness and, for the first time, The McGuiness Unit in Manchester has allowed unprecedented access to one of the largest mental health units for teenagers in the country.

Filmed over the course of a year, intimate access the to the girls at boys staying at the McGuiness unit, whether voluntarily or sectioned under the Mental Health Act, shows the struggles faced by those with suicidal thoughts, eating disorders and psychosis.

Don’t Call Me Crazy launches a season of programs on the BBC, It’s A Mad World, exploring a range of mental health issues.
