Peter Tomlinson is an expert by experience in psychosis and addiction, applying this knowledge as a peer support worker in mental health care. Additionally, he is a voluntary academic collaborator at Ghent University, where he publishes on recovery, psychosis, and experiential expertise. Between 2013 and 2015, Peter experienced a complete psychosis characterised by extreme emotions, associative thoughts, hallucinations, and delusional beliefs. Now that his life is back on track, surprisingly, he is rarely asked how it feels to be psychotic.

Many seem to assume that psychosis is so strange that it cannot be put into words, especially not by someone who has experienced it. The assumption is that people who have experienced psychosis would not know what they are saying, have no insight into their situation, and remember nothing afterwards. Nothing could be further from the truth: Peter's experiences are a wealth of information for anyone wanting to better understand psychosis. In "Beyond Madness," he shares his story, providing an intimate glimpse into the mind of someone going through psychosis. Peter's narrative is supported by two testimonies from his inner circle and seven reflections by experts by experience, healthcare professionals, and academics.
