Take ten volunteers, half have psychiatric disorders, the other half don’t – but who is who?

Over five days the group are put through a series of challenges – from performing stand-up comedy to mucking out cows. The events are designed to explore the character traits of mental illness and ask whether the symptoms might be within all of us.

Three leading experts in mental health attempt to spot which volunteers have been diagnosed with a mental health condition. But will the individuals who have suffered from mental illness reveal themselves?

PART TWO
Second part of the special documentary considering where the line between sanity and madness lies as ten volunteers come together for an extraordinary test. With five ‘normal’ volunteers and five who have been officially diagnosed as mentally ill, Horizon asks if you can tell who is who.

They need two more groups: one group with all people mentally ill and one group with no mentally ill people. The same psychiatrist panel should be used and the panel should think that they’re dealing with the same number of ill people and the same illnesses. Then we’ll have more data to consider how useful the panel’s methodology is.

  That’s because nobody had schizophrenia. There were 6 possible diagnoses but only 5 people with a disorder so one of the disorders was there as a way of making it more difficult for the specialists to decide who had what.
