[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The idea that this woman is somehow overprivileged because she had that much inpatient psychiatric treatment is a sign of the very slippery slope this thread and our society are both on.

Not necessarily that she was over privileged, but [b]there was ample time for her to receive a diagnosis os PPD/PPP.[/b] She displayed no concerning behaviors with her husband, which is why he felt secure leaving her home alone with the children. She has generalized anxiety disorder, I believe she’s lying about hearing a voice. I think PPP is a convenient excuse, if only all murderers could claim psychosis. It’s going to be very difficult, if not impossible to prove she was psychotic during the murders. Comparing this to the Andrea Yates’s case is apples and oranges, the only thing in common is both were mothers who killed their kids. That’s it. PPP is a real thing, but Lindsay Clancy wasn’t suffering from it imo. The med list was quite stunning and certainly led to some unpleasant drug interactions I am sure.[/quote]

This is just not how mental illness works. It is not a fixed state that persists over time such that any X number of people looking at that person over X interval would all have seen the same thing.

If she only had GAD, what was she doing on all of those medications, in your theory of the case?[/quote]
