Dymphna: Patron of Mental Illness & Anxiety

Dymphna: Patron of Mental Illness  & AnxietyWhy not take a little time this evening to read about the life of Dymphna, an Irish saint from the 7th Century. She was born to a pagan father and  a Christian mother. After the death of her mother, Dymphna’s father showed signs of mental illness which eventually resulted in Dymphna’s murder at the hands of her father.
