Episode One - Ian

*** After recording this first episode, we changed the name of the podcast from 'Notes on Madness' to 'Notes on the Mind' - you can read about why we made this decision here ***

In our first episode we talk to Social Worker and "psychosis survivor" Ian about his experience of being detained under section after an episode of mania. We discuss how his past led him to this experience, what it was like being held in a psychiatric hospital, and visits from Dynamo the magician and a group of samurai warriors.
