In Flagging the Problem, Dr Harry Barry presents a unique approach to mental health based on a colour-coded flag system: the Green Flag denotes the normal mood system, the Red Flag stands for depression, the Yellow Flag for anxiety, the Purple Flag for addiction, and the White Flag for suicide.
Above all, he seeks to dispel the stigma that continues to surround mental illness.
This is an important book. It provides a new approach to mental health and the intricacy of the variables that influence it. Written with compassion and creativity and informed by decades of General Practice insights, Dr Harry Barry helps the reader to understand the complexity of the normal mood system and the distress of depression, anxiety, addiction and suicide.
Marie Murray, Director of the Student Counselling Services at University College Dublin
Its that rare thing a medical book that can be read by lay people and health professionals alike. Dr Barry demystifies subjects that touch so many of our lives and he does so with compassion, wisdom and vast professional knowledge.
Cathy Kelly
Flagging the Therapy focuses on two of the most common mental-health problems: depression and anxiety. Dr Barry examines the range of options, including the various drug, talk and alternative therapies, available to those suffering from depression and anxiety, whether mild or severe. Drawing on his extensive experience as a GP of walking the walk with those on such a journey, he outlines a new holistic pathway which is practical and easy to follow.
Dr Barrys first book was truly unique. In Flagging the Therapy, he develops his highly accessible approach to mental health, with a particular emphasis on how different treatments for depression, anxiety and other psychological problems work. Another superb contribution from one of Irelands most insightful doctors.
Dr Muiris Houston, Medical Correspondent, the Irish Times
Once again, Dr Barry has achieved his goal of removing the barriers that deter people from seeking professional help due to embarrassment or lack of knowledge. He is to be lauded for this.
Prof. Patricia Casey, Department of Psychiatry, University College Dublin
Dr Barry has done medicine and mental health a great service by writing an authoritative yet accessible exposition on cutting-edge thinking relating to recovery from states of anxiety and depression. This is a remarkable achievement but, more importantly, the book is a reliable field guide for patients and practitioners alike. The Salmon of Knowledge has revisited the Boyne! I strongly recommend that you read this book.
Dr Justin Brophy, President, The College of Psychiatry of Ireland
This is a truly ground-breaking, innovative and profoundly enlightening work. Dr Harry Barry leads the reader on a holistic journey through the mind and its emotional responses in a way that is both explorative and explanatory. Brilliantly written, it is essential reading for anyone who wants to develop a comprehensive knowledge of effective approaches to positive mental health in our society.
Maria Carmody, President, National Counselling Institute of Ireland LNCIIM
In this intelligent and enlightening study, Dr Barry has managed to combine everyday stories with an easily understood discussion on the neurobiological basis of mental ill-health. His nonjudgemental attitude to the various therapies which are at our disposal for recovery and his holistic approach to mental and spiritual well-being are revolutionary. Flagging the Therapy is not just a book for sufferers of mental illness; it is mandatory reading for all those who have the slightest interest in good health and human happiness.
Carol Hunt, Sunday Independent
This book is dedicated to my mother, Dilly Barry (19222010)
The butterfly has flown!
There are so many people that have played a part in making this book possible. As always, I would like to start by thanking my editor Sen OKeeffe (and his background staff ) of Liberties Press for suggesting the book, seeing its potential and creating order out of my ramblings. I also thank Peter OConnell of Liberties for his wise advice at crucial stages of writing the text and his help with media and marketing.
I must particularly mention my friend and colleague Enda Murphy and his invaluable assistance. Apart from being an intrepid adventurer (having driven all the way from Ireland to China!), he is a wonderful therapist and teacher. I have to thank his lovely wife Mei for putting up with the pair of us.
To my loyal and devoted staff at 5 Leland Place Fiona, Carmel, Susan, Anne and my practice nurse Brenda for all their help and support throughout the period of writing this book. I am indeed fortunate to have such a wonderful team at my back. To my mother Dilly Barry (Thurles), who has just lost her long battle with illness (which she had faced with bravery and courage), and my brothers Gerald and Kevin and in-laws Patricia, Una and Nora for their support and encouragement. To my mother-in-law Ciss Lahart (Eyrecourt), who also has shown great courage in coping with illness, for her help and support down through the years, and to all our friends and relatives who have backed this project.
There are a number of people who sadly will not be here to see this published. The first is my brother David. We still miss you. The second is our great family friend Sister Kieran Saunders MMM, who is mentioned in my last book. We miss you so much Kieran, and pray that you will remain our spiritual guide throughout this mysterious journey through the pathways of life and beyond. We also remember my father Harry and father-in-law Nicholas, who are sadly not with us to share this moment.
I have to give special credit to my son Daniel, who, as always , has been my right-hand man throughout the writing and editing of this book. His research background in psychology has been invaluable, and his superb diagrams adorn and enhance this book. Without his help, it would have been impossible to put it all together. I am indeed very proud of him, as I am of my son Joseph, who begins an exciting post doc research post in Germany, and my newlywed daughter Lara, whose love and caring nourishes us all. A special welcome to her new husband Hans, the light of her life! Luscious vegetables from his plot continue to find their way to our table!
I reserve as always my biggest thank you to my wife Brenda, whose love, friendship, support, encouragement and particularly patience have made this book possible. Writing is a lonely experience not only for the author but also for loved ones, who have to endure the authors absences when writing. A book on stress has indeed been a stressful influence on this mad household. Your love has sustained me through it all.
Life is a mysterious journey full of twists and unexpected turns. If you are fortunate enough to have a special companion travelling with you on the way, it becomes an even richer experience . Sometimes there is pain and difficulty; sometimes there is joy. Who knows where the journey is going to bring us, but with you by my side, I know all will be well. May God grant us the gift of getting older and wiser together! Mo ghra, mo chroi.
