  • Fantastic…very valuable info for understanding psychosis

    Hats off to you for interviewing people and how they recovered from psychosis. Big Pharma and most doctors won’t mention recovery—only that you need “lifelong meds.” Recovery is the goal. It can be reached. Search for how to recover from your psychosis, not how to treat it….many interviews on this podcast will help.

  • Dr. Phil for psychology

    Dear Will Hall,

    Thank you for this earnest, and sensitive podcast. I especially enjoyed your interview with Olga Runcimann. Though you have taken a break - well earned - for a niche podcast you have merited much gratitude.

    My mum @Rossa Forbes was a blogger on MIA, and when she stopped I felt disconnected and no way to fill that hole. I think you have shown that meaningful conversations can be had beyond Frazier Crane style pop psychology for general interest and general education.

  • The truth-beyond the absurdity of the system

    Will Hall and Madness Radio allowed me to survive the narrow minded messages of graduate clinical mental health studies. This should be required listening for any mental health training program. Will is an awesome advocate for choice, wellness, and accepting who we are in infinite variety. If you want help to bust out of your box this is the show for you. I was bummed to run out of new episodes having listened to every one on iTunes back to March 2006. Phew, there is another whole year of episod... more

  • Critical 'Alternative' Perspective

    Will Hall's podcast gives voice to those whose voices have been supressed by mainstream psychiatry. Hours of first-hand accounts from psychiatric survivors on how they successfully went off psychiatric meds, learned to turn their voices into assets instead of crippling burdens, and how they found community in friendship on their journeys to leading happy, meaningful lives. A must-listen!
