I really liked this movie. it presents good tips, thoughts and information that will help one to cope with psychosis. Very relaxed and good conversations.
The only downside I see is that it fails to show that medication can also help people, to some it works, to others it won't or it will make the problem worse, and there are also good psychiatrists, not all of them are evil people that force feed you obscure medication.

Nevertheless, psychosis and spirituality almost always go hand in hand and the movie shows this very well.

Thank you.
I don't have any psychosis, but I took some acid many years ago, and I recognize a lot of it.
I think you help a lot of people with this one.

P.S.: I never layed down laughing, when I took acid!

This documentary puts across some hard hitting points on psychosis and other mental disorders in a light-hearted and easy to understand way which really showcases the passion the people interviewed have for their beliefs. Furthermore, unlike many similar films, this release offers a fairly balanced viewpoint without the need for shock tactics and leaves the audience free to come to their own conclusions using the information presented. Consequently, this film fulfils its promise to, "educate, empower and inform" and also offers much more.
