Through the lens of science, politics, religion, drugs, and death, Here Be Monsters explores the things that scare us. This episode, “Barrie’s Mental Tempest,” follows Barrie Wylie’s journey through life with paranoid schizophrenia. It deals with how he has coped via alcohol, drugs, and medication, ultimately utilizing a controversial technique in which he befriends his voices rather than suppresses them.
