Dated - November 20, 2017
Dear colleagues,
You are invited to The Great Famine, Trauma, and Madness lecture by Cormac Ó Gráda (UCD), at the History of Medicine Section, Royal Academy of Medicine Ireland.
Wednesday, 22nd November 2017, 6:15pm, Setanta House.
The talk will focus on two ways in which the Great Famine may have made life worse for survivors. The first is whether the Famine traumatized the Irish, individually and collectively. The second is whether it increased the likelihood of mental illness, and particularly schizophrenia, in survivors; and indeed, by extension, in their descendants.
All welcome to attend.
