St. Dymphna is the patron saint of the nervous, emotionally disturbed, mentally ill, and those who suffer neurological disorders - and, consequently, of psychologists, psychiatrists, and neurologists. She is also the patron saint of victims of incest.

Saint Lucy is also depicted with a sword through her throat. It can be Saint Lucy, more than Saint Agnes. The other one is Saint Juliana of Nicomedia, as she has a demon chained at her side. Saint Dyphma is not so famous as Juliana is, so it's more likely to be Juliana.
