Cahir O’Doherty, Confronting Three Generations of Schizophrenia on a Journey Home to Ireland. Irish Central, Aug 16, 2018. “The lingering consequences of the Famine and British colonialism, the ground zero of Irish madness.”

“In the 19th century in rural areas like Roscommon it was very common for 50-year-old men to take a teenage wife. Fears over inheritance and property laws led many so called peasant men to wed much later in life, and often this led to a match between a 18 year old and a man old enough to be her grandfather. Says Tracey, “The malnutrition and the drink are a no brainer, but it was more surprising to learn about the late paternity issue. The eldest son would inherit the potato patch when his parents passed away. He has his pick of the parish girls and – men being men – he’d often take the youngest one. Deals were done that way, not by choice but because they were being squeezed off their land by the British.” Sperm cells divide every 15 days, and by the time a man turns 50 there’s a hell of a lot of mutations. The link between paternity at 50 and schizophrenia, researchers say, is clear. “The links between famine, maternal malnutrition, late male paternity, and the stress of colonialism and its destructive nature is manifest. If a mother carried you through a famine in the early part of her pregnancy you’re more likely to be a manic-depressive. If she carried you through a famine in the latter part of her pregnancy you’re more likely to be schizophrenic… A DNA stew was cooking in the west of Ireland and it had to do with suffering. A lot of psychiatrists get carried away with their fancy book learning, but the truth can be more prosaic. You can drive people into insanity. The rates of schizophrenia fluctuate in populations but the Irish levels red lined in the 19 century.”
