The complications of family history with manic depression; personally having same with the complication of traumatic brain injury, I had naively thought, “for the benefit of others, so they did not have to suffer the same as me” that I would gladly donate my brain to science. Following through becomes a major problem in my case so apart from contacting Trinity College Dublin and not really able to work through the process, I found this programme heart rendering. It would be my hope that someone out there would tap this incredible resource of possible answers to these appalling mental illnesses which are still treated by Stigma and incomplete processes involving medications and psychology, both of which have supported me in my existence to remain engaged and living in society without being locked up, or in a community mental health care centre, for over 20 years now.
