Devon Marston, facing turbulent experiences in a psychiatric hospital 40 years ago, has become a vocal advocate for improved mental health services, particularly for minority ethnic groups. Despite his efforts, he laments that little has changed in systemic practices, revealing alarming statistics showing that black individuals are disproportionately affected by mental health detentions. Recent data indicates a troubling rise in urgent mental health cases, exacerbating existing inequities. Tiwa, a younger voice in the conversation, illustrates the traumatic nature of her experiences within children's mental health services and the pervasive use of restraints and forced treatments.
It was a horrible experience that I wouldn't wish on anyone.
I had no voice, and there was no one to say: Don't do that to him.
