The three talk about the difficult intersection between charity and corporate sensibility, the tricky nature of the Papageno effect and the essential tools you need to talk to your children about suicide.

This week on Who We Are Now with Izzy and Richard Hammond, we take a peek under the hood of the NHS' mental health services with psychiatrist, author and comedian Dr Benji Waterhouse. After writing his tell all book You Don't Have To Be Mad To Work Here, Dr Benji is on a one man mission to give voices to those who can't speak up for themselves. As a front line NHS psychiatrist, Dr Benji has seen his share of incredibly difficult situations, and the three chat about how some mindful colouring and cold water swimming probably isn't going to cut the mustard when it comes to serious mental illness.
