I'd black out only to regain consciousness in a completely different part of town, hours later, afraid and with absolutely no idea what had happened in the interval. Had it not been for some extraordinary friends who decided that I needed to be hospitalised, I might have vanished into the night for good. Worse still, I could have taken heed of the incredibly real and convincing voices in my head and simply thrown myself off [[Westminster Bridge]]. Instead, I found myself sectioned under the Mental Health Act."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2021/aug/21/david-harewood-homeland-racism-psychosis-close-to-death|title=‘I came close to death’: David Harewood on racism and psychosis|website=The Guardian|last=Harewood|first=David|date=21 August 2021|access-date=27 May 2024}}</ref>
