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."

    I spent my whole life struggling against an invisible disability.
    That´s why I started, with great difficulty, an NGO to help other people and that´s why I gave a talk at TED
    Hope you spread it and that brings hope to people that suffer in silence!
    all the best!
