Lindsay Clancy: Dangerous Symptoms Postpartum Psychosis

from The Dr. Phil Podcast

Dr. Phil examines the disturbing case of Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother charged with killing her three young children, and the critical question at the center of the case: Were warning signs of a severe postpartum mental health crisis missed? He breaks down postpartum psychosis, how it differs from postpartum depression and the “baby blues,” and the potentially dangerous symptoms including hallucinations, delusions, extreme insomnia, disorganized thinking, and loss of contact with reality. As the defense prepares to argue that postpartum psychosis and multiple psychiatric medications contributed to the tragedy, prosecutors are expected to point to Clancy’s alleged planning and coordination as evidence she understood her actions. His analysis focuses on the larger question beyond the courtroom: When a new mother shows escalating red flags, who is responsible for recognizing the danger and acting before it is too late?Sponsored by Preserve Gold: Get up to $20,000 in FREE Gold & Silver with a qualified purchase.
