Disability news roundup: 4 Goes Mad

The series included A little bit OCD, John Richardson's film about obsessive compulsive disorder and a documentary presented by Ruby Wax about mental health in the workplace.
The title, 4 Goes Mad, has split opinion in the mental health community, something Ilona Burton explored in her blog post for the Independent on Tuesday in which she concluded: "Either way, it certainly got people talking weeks before the first instalment was screened. The title - sexy or sadistic - worked."

That´s why I started, with great difficulty, an NGO to help other people and that´s why I gave a talk at TED https://talentsearch.ted.com/video/Ana-Maria-Saad-My-story-of-ment;TEDSao-Paulo
Hope you spread it and that brings hope to people that suffer in silence!
