Saint Dymphna is a 7th-century Christian saint honored in Catholic and Eastern Orthodox traditions who was murdered by her father for her refusal (and for it, her beheading) to allow her father to have an incestuous relationship with her. St. Dymphna is the patron saint of runaways, mental disorders, neurological disorders, victims of incest, victims of sexual assault, depression, anxiety, and sleep disorders.
