Meet Adam: A Psychotic Break or Spiritual Emergency

For those who may want to reconsider their position on religion and psychosis.

A 20-year fascination with shamanism leads filmmaker Phil Borges to question Western culture’s definition and treatment of severe mental disorders. CRAZYWISE, a feature length documentary, centers around a young man struggling with his sanity, world renowned mental health professionals and a survivor-led movement… all challenging a mental health system in crisis.
