Three incompetent politicians are tasked with creating a new psychiatric diagnosis as a way of controlling the masses.
Bad Science: A new devised show from the mind of Emily Bold
Three authoritarian, yet incompetent, politicians are tasked with creating a new psychiatric diagnosis as a way of controlling the masses. Donning lab coats, they become pseudo-psychiatrists and through their journey the lines of science and politics, diagnosis and policy, sanity and insanity become blurred. While a work of fiction, Bad Science is based on true instances where psychiatry has been abused for political gain.
