Thank You: A Mother’s Message to Kerry CAMHS Whistleblower – May 29th, 2026

On Monday, Kerry Today broadcast a lengthy interview with Dr Maya Sharma, the psychiatric consultant who exposed the over-medication and inappropriate treatment of patients at South Kerry CAMHS, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services.

Karen Ivers from Tralee heard Dr Sharma’s interview with Treasa Murphy. Her daughter was over-medicated for years while attending North Kerry CAMHS.  She says Dr Sharma’s courage led to independent reviews of the treatment of patients in North and South Kerry CAMHS. She wanted to thank Dr Sharma.
