Tributes for doctor who ‘demystified psychiatry’

TRIBUTES were paid to the life’s work of renowned psychiatrist and broadcaster Anthony Clare, who died suddenly over the weekend.

Colleagues praised the 64-year-old’s passion for his work. Professor Clare had demystified psychiatry for the public, explained his friend Patricia Casey, professor of adult psychiatry at University College Dublin.

“At a time when people thought psychiatrists had two horns and locked people up, he was the psychiatrist all over the media talking about what we did,” she told RTÉ.
