About
I’m Úrsula Casado Vázquez, a Spanish Psychiatrist currently practicing as a General Adult Consultant Psychiatrist in Galway, Ireland. With a robust passion for mental health and psychopharmacology, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals navigate their mental health journeys with compassion and expertise.
My journey in Psychiatry began in Spain, where I completed my medical studies at the prestigious University of Santiago de Compostela. I trained to be a Psychiatrist at the highly competitive Hospital of A Coruña, where I developed a deep love for Psychiatry. Driven by a thirst for new challenges and experiences, I made the exciting move to Ireland. This transition has enriched my professional and personal life, allowing me to bring a diverse perspective to my practice.
