Gila: A Journey Through Moods and Madness is a brand new book that chronicles the untold stories of the men and woman living with mental illness in Malaysia. It is a deeply private world, one that is rarely spoken-of, that is often looked upon with shame and disgrace.


This week on Invisible Cities, Uma - and author Hanna Alkaf - take you into the invisible city that is the human mind.
