St. Dymphna Comments
Dymphna was fourteen when her mother died. Damon is said to have been afflicted with a mental illness, brought on by his grief. He sent messengers throughout his town and other lands to find some woman of noble birth, resembling his wife, who would be willing to marry him. When none could be found, his evil advisers told him to marry his own daughter. Dymphna fled from her castle together with St. Gerebran, her confessor and two other friends. ... Continue Reading

Dear St. Dymphna......Please help my son....he has delusions and I suspect hallucinations again. He doesn't think he has a problem and he is not on medication. He did respond nicely to meds several years ago but he weaned himself off. This cycle has happened a couple of times. Once the meds clear his mind, he thinks he is fine and wants to come off them plus he gains weight and says he can"t think straight. He is a wonderful person, works hard and is very caring. I fear he will end up hospitalized again. Give him your strength and wisdom to understand he has a chemical inbalance and with a little medication he will function so much better.
This is an awesome website.Thank you!
Dear Saint Dymphna: I am bipolar and so is my son . My son who passed away was also bipolar--and so was my mom and grandmother. My daughter is exibiting strong signs of bipolar, so I asked her to see doctor--she got so angry at me because of this, she quit speaking to me and now I can't see my grandchildren. Please pray for me, as my bipolar symptoms are returning after six years of peace. Please pray for my son--he drinks and his medication can't help him. Please help my daughter to seek help and speak to me again. I am asking for a miracle--but you have been known to provide such! I pray to you every day.I love you, St. Dymphna.
Saint Dymphna, please help Cassi, my 15 year old granddaughter who has just told her mother (my daughter) she is feeling very depressed. My daughter is a single mom. Help Cassi to grow strong and well in her mind, body and soul. She is a very good girl and does very well in school. She has always attended church. She does not have any close friends. Her best friend started doing drugs at the beginning of the school year and that has really upset her. She stopped seeing her except at school. Please, please help her.
Dear St. Dymphna, I have suffered from clinical anxiety since my first child was born over ten years ago; while the nature of it has changed, the pain that it brings is relentless. Please help to strengthen my faith so I can better understand God's plan for me. I know there is a reason, and I want to use it to better my life and my relationship with Him. I would loved to be healed from it, but if this journey is meant for my good in the long run, let it be His will, but I pray for understanding. Amen.

Dear St. Dymphna,
Please intercede on behalf of my wonderful husband. He has been diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety. Please let him quiet the storm inside of his head, and regain his feelings of self worth. Let him know the love Jesus, God the father, and Our Lady have for him. Please help give me strength as well to be patient and kind, and not be worried myself at the uncertainties this diagnosis has brought to our family. Let him be strong, and know that he will be healed. In our Lord's name I pray. Amen.
Please Saint Dymphna intercede with our lord and help me heal from long standing anger,, anxiety disorder and depression from which I am finding it increasingly difficult to cope with. Please help me in my healing and and help me find a good husband and have my much wanted child .
I am posting this message to ask all of you reading this to please say a prayer for my brother AJ who suffers from Bipolar Disorder and is currently experiencing a very manic, destructive episode. As a family, we have all tried to help and support him but have been unable to stop his condition from deteriorating. We recognize that in many ways our support, though well-intentioned, has prevented him from dealing with this illness to the extent that he needs to. As we step back from intervening and hope that he comes to a necessary realization of the impact of this disorder, we pray for an outcome which will ultimately be in his best interest and lead to his recovery. We pray to St. Dymphna for AJ's safety and healing as well as for the safety and peace of mind of our entire family. I offer this with hope and gratitude.

Saint Dymphna is a very powerful saint. She has been my favorite saint for the past 37 years and she always stays with you no matter how large the problem. Have faith in this saint.
I recommend St. Dymphna for anyone with emotional problems or any large difficulty.
I am sorry to write this but it would save a lot of time if the people were introduced at the beggining such as Damon. Damon is mentioned in the second sentence. I had to read other paragraphs to find out who Damon was. Otherwise the article is very good.
St Dymphna plz pray n help me be healthy and free from my mental illnesses especially OCD as soon as possible
Dear St. Dymphna,
Can you please pray for our family. Schizophrenia and depression are highly dominate in our family. My mother has been living with mental illness most of her life. I especially ask for you to pray for her. Also, can you please pray for the children in our family? It breaks my heart and it is overwhelming for me sometimes. I am especially asking if you could pray for the children. Please dear God and St Dymphna keep them safe, healthly and free from mental illness.
St. Dymphna please pray and help my son. Although 26 yrs old, he suffers from ADD and mental problems which has caused him great problems with severe bad decisions in life. He has a good heart and wants everyone to like him; but at what cost ? Please intercede and pray with God's help to guide him to a better, calmer life and to help those who love him handle the situation. Thank you.
St. Dymphna, please help my daughter to heal her mind as it is affecting her life terribly. She is depressed and anxious and suffers from racing thoughts to the point where it is getting hard to function. Please intercede on her behalf and bring some healing to her beautiful soul. thank you for what you have done.
Saint Dymphna, my mind is open to healing that is needed. Intercede to calm my heart and bring comfort and rest to my mind. My heart is true to love and light, push the darkness back as I ask for freedom from depression. I am not Catholic or really even Christian, intercede to clear my mind so I may make the right choices - now and forever.
Please help me st. dymphna with my anxiety and bad thoughts
St. Dymphna, I am surprised that I've never written a prayer to you, although I know that I need your wonderful and speedy intercession for all who are mentally ill and nervous. For me, that condition of my grandson is of much grief, as he has many symptoms of nervousness, including seizures. Pray for him dear St. Dymphna, and may he be healed miraculously of developmental delays, speech delays and seizures. Amen,
Please help me with this crippling anxiety. Please ask the Lord to give me peace, as well as for my sisters, and those i take care of. I am overwhelmed with fear. Please do not let my mother die, please help me put these affairs in order. Please, please give me peace and rest.
