[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Add the naperville nurse to the list.  She murdered her 3 kids and attempted  suicide,  but lived.  Her husband was a doctor  and  seeing another woman, nurse.  She's in prison.  She didn't  get special treatment.  And they were more upper class than the  clancy's. She got no white  privilege that clancy is pinning for.[/quote]

She had been battling depression for 4 years. She had a prescription for Ativan. She want to jail and is still there. White, nurse, upper middle class.

She wasn't postpartum when she did it, which means there was only typical background risk of her having been psychotic when she did it. The point being made here is that that is not the case for Lindsay Clancy. She has a history of symptoms, hospitalizations and medication that mean that she was at significantly higher than background risk of having been psychotic. We'll see what comes out in the trial.

Being postpartum doesn't give LC a free pass to murder her children. LC should be treated the same way the woman in Naperville was.[/quote]

[b]Being postpartum[/b] does not have any role here. [b]Having postpartum mood disorder,[/b] which raises the odds that she experienced [b]postpartum psychosis,[/b] does.

"Psychosis" is not just another word for any old mental health diagnosis. There are specific aspects of it that affect ability to understand right from wrong and conform conduct to law. That is a difference between it and garden variety PPD, PPA, etc. [/quote]

She didn't have PPD or PPA, how can we make the leap that she had PPP? [/quote]
