[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she knew her kids were dead, why wasn’t her next question, “what happened to them”? Why was the next question “do I need a lawyer?” She knew exactly what she did and she was well aware of what she was doing, when she was doing it. [/quote]

Psychosis also doesn’t necessarily impair memory.

The denial in this thread about this symptom is really astounding.[/quote]

Sounds to me like psychosis is pretty damn impossible to prove.[/quote]

It can also be very hard to disprove. And that is much more true when someone alleging it has recently been on three different antipsychotic medications, among many others.[/quote]

Why is it only coming up now after the defense attorney’s hand picked psychiatrist is talking to her?[/quote]

It might be because she had a first psychotic break on the day when this happened. But it is far likelier to be because she had actually been experiencing PPD previously, and out of (delusional!) belief that PPD alone would result in her being separated from her kids, used her professional knowledge to cover it up. Covering up PPD symptoms in this way is actually quite common even when the person never becomes psychotic. [/quote]
