Special: Angels and Demons Episode 2

They're like ghosts in our midst. We rarely see them, we often fear them. They're the mentally ill. Some call themselves mad. "I couldn't trust my mind. I couldn't trust this thing that was so profoundly a part of me. It was just this awful, awful mysterious chasm that made me do such strange and horrible things." "I looked like a banshee. I was just going 'aahh…' down the road and people were just frightened. They didn't know what was happening to me and I didn't know what was happening to me." I want to know what it feels like to "lose" your mind… And I wanted to discover if, and how, you can find it again. http://www.abc.net.au/tv/enoughrope/interactive/angelsanddemons/
