This impactful documentary follows the situation at Nottingham Hamshire Healthcare NHS Trust, as it showcases various types of patients suffering from mental health trauma and conditions.
The programme undoubtedly helps to raise awareness, educate the viewers and offer insight to the lives of the NHS staff involved in dealing with mental health struggles.
Each episode highlights two different cases at a time, both visiting the frontline mental health service. The documentary shed light on conditions such as postpartum psychosis, a severe condition that could not only endanger oneself but also your loved ones, as seen in a documentary episode.
With each episode depicting severe cases of mental health issues, it will certainly tug on the heartstrings of audiences watching, as they will be moved and shocked by the drastic conditions that will present itself in each episode.
Many viewers will get to reflect and truly understand what it really means to be in a mental health crisis, to step into the shoes of those involved and realise the importance of tackling these issues in regards to the mental health conditions.
This documentary is very relevant to real life - the growing daily demand for mental health services are rising (prevalent in the UK), this series therefore showcases suffocating pressure on these mental health services, compiled with difficult choices that doctors and nurses involved in such cases grapple with.
