| Summary: | In 1972 an American scientist named Dr David Rosenhan performed an extraordinary experiment that revolutionised the study of mental health. He proved that psychiatry, the science of the mind, couldn't tell the difference between sanity and insanity. Now Horizon re-creates this experiment in a search for the difference between the mentally ill and the supposedly sane. Ten subjects are forced to work together, face stressful situations and confront their fears. But will the manic depressives and obsessive compulsives reveal themselves? Observing the subjects is an international panel of experts. Using their years of experience, they attempt to diagnose the subjects based on their actions alone. Are the symptoms of mental illness within us all? Indeed, could we all be considered a little bit mad? |
