Going Mad? Understanding Mental Illness

Dr Michael Corry died in 2010. He qualified in medicine from UCD in 1973 before training as a psychiatrist and a constructivist psychotherapist. A frequent and often controversial commentator on issues of mental health in national newspapers and on television and radio programmes, he was an outspoken opponent of over-medication and the use of electro-convulsive therapy in the treatment of mental illness, believing instead in a holistic approach to healing. He is the co-author of two books with Dr Áine Tubridy: Going Mad? and Depression: An Emotion, Not a Disease.

    We are no longer cavemen but we still live in a jungle, the urban jungle, where the lion is the taxman and the car an approaching deadline.

    If my mind is the place which my memories call ‘home’ and if I have lost it, then where am I to be found?
  • Czeah Alisosohas quoted1 hour ago
    Psychological distress has a stigma that physical disease doesn’t share. This adds an extra layer of difficulty over and above the symptoms themselves.
