How do you manage your mental health when you cannot control the direction of your mind? Director of Me follows three people with diagnosed mental health conditions through a month in their lives. Each episode pivots around self-recorded audio diaries as they reflect on what it's like to inhabit and manage their minds. . The programmes incorporate specially composed music, worked up in collaboration with each person to illustrate how they experience their mental health conditions. In this second episode, we meet Ria, who's in her 20s. She’s an actor, director, playwright; a friend, girlfriend and daughter. Ria also lives with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), after being diagnosed at 25. “I got diagnosed at 25, after I’d already written a play about it. So, that was a relief.” This episode was recorded by Ria. Producer: Catherine Carr Assistant Producer and Composer: Maia Miller-Lewis. Executive Producer: Jo Rowntree.
