Why would anyone in their right mind choose to be a psychiatrist? That’s a question NHS psychiatrist Dr Benji Waterhouse addresses in his humane, hilarious and heart-breaking fly-on-the-padded-wall account of life in a psyche ward. For Waterhouse dealing with a schizophrenic lorry driver who thinks he’s found the cure for coronavirus and helping a bipolar American whose flown into England in a wedding dress convinced she’s about to marry Harry Styles are all part of a day’s work. But how can he and his colleagues give such vulnerable patients the best treatment when psychiatry lacks staff, beds and actual cures?
