Each person’s experience of mental illness is unique. In each episode of Being Well we hear from somebody who has experienced mental ill health of one kind or another. We join them as they explore their experience, its place in their lives and its impact on the way they have chosen to live.

We are currently in the midst of a psychedelic resurgence. Medical and academic research teams have launched studies into the effective use of psychedelics to treat illnesses which modern medicine can’t always effectively address, including PTSD, addiction and depression.

But those searching for reliable information for how to take and make meaning from these profound experiences have found little available, until now.
