Welcome to Room 5

One afternoon, Helena Merriman walked into a doctor’s surgery and was given a shock diagnosis. In this series, she interviews people who - like her - were changed by a diagnosis. Told through an immersive sound design, this intimate series shines a light on misunderstood conditions, asking how we cope when our bodies and minds behave in ways that don’t make sense to us. Written, presented and produced by Helena Merriman Composer: Jeremy Warmsley Sound Design: Eloise WhitmoreProduction Co-ordinator: Janet Staples Editor: Emma Rippon
