Author Patrick Tracey discusses his book, "Stalking Irish Madness: Searching for the Roots of My Family's Schizophrenia," on March 19, 2009, as part of Northeastern University Libraries' Meet the Author Series. Tracey travels to Ireland to trace the origins and solve the mystery of his Irish-American family's multigenerational struggle with schizophrenia, the disease which struck two of his sisters. Filled with history, science, and superstition, Stalking Irish Madness is an unforgettable chronicle of one man's attempt to make sense of his family's past and to find hope for the future of schizophrenic patients. Find his book in the Library's catalog, NUCAT at RC514 .T67 2008.

  • The high rates of Irish schizophrenia are probably due to epigenetic alterations due to the Famine of the 1840's and severe malnutrition. They are not due to sociological factors or excessive potato consumption as has been hypothesized. Thehigh rates are the mark of the Famine.
