That would be Saint Dymphna (dimf-nah): Patroness of those afflicted with nervous and emotional illness. For more information about St. Dymphna, Virgin and Martyr you can write to:

The ancient gods Mercury, Athena, the Dagda, Dana, and to some extent Hecate, Holde, and Myrvyn could be associated with that field of study. Dieties of health could be helpful too. One is even also a saint. St. Briget, who is also a fire goddess, has some associations with healing. As a fire diety, she is also associated with the hearth, the 'heart' of the home where the family comes to spend time together. Togetherness, inclusiveness, connection, these can help those whose mental disorders stem from feelings of isolation and uniqueness.

The Bible says that all born again believers are saints. It just means those whom God has set apart. So... I'm a saint according to the Biblical definition.
Don't pray to the dead, pray only to Jesus Christ. And seek human help for mental illnesses, try and find a Christian psychiatrist

Saint Vitus' Dance is a nervous disorder that causes palsy like shakes. Maybe this makes some sort of sense? Mind you, they used to strap people to the altar in churches thinking that it would cure them.

St. Dymphna. Am I spelling that right? Oh well, she's the one.
