In 2016, Herts graduate James Lindsay faced one of his greatest challenges. He experienced a psychotic episode and was hospitalized for nearly a month. James has now released a new book, Befriending My Brain: A Psychosis Story, in which he talks about his recovery and how he overcame this dark period in his life.

In this first episode of the Powered by Herts podcast, fellow graduate Bre McDermott-King chats to James to find out what he learnt about taking care of his mental health and to hear any advice he has for students and graduates.
