Dr Benji Waterhouse on schizophrenia and the stark realities of NHS psychiatry
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.

About Who We Are Now with Izzy & Richard Hammond

In 2006 Richard Hammond broke his brain. The high-speed jet-powered car he was piloting crashed at 319mph… and the thing that stopped the car from rolling? That was his head. Richard’s been on a journey of self-discovery and personal growth ever since, and now, he’s on a mission to demystify and destigmatise conversations around masculinity, mental health, and the issues that affect us all, in a bid to discover who we are now. Joined by his co-pilot and grown-up daughter Izzy, they’ll dive into the worlds of mid-life crisis’, what makes a modern man, how to raise daughters, and even question what it means to be a little shorter than average... Join Richard and Izzy as they try to figure out Who We Are Now. For advertising opportunities on this podcast email: [email protected]
