Lindsay Clancy’s Psychiatrist Grilled Over Missed Warning Signs

This episode documents the intense cross-examination of Dr. Jennifer Tus, the psychiatrist who treated Lindsay Clancy primarily through telemedicine appointments. The questioning focuses on the limitations of virtual care, noting that the doctor could not observe physical indicators of stress like hand-wringing or leg bouncing. A significant portion of the testimony addresses the doctor's failure to use the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, a standard tool for assessing postpartum conditions. Counsel highlights that while Clancy's condition was deteriorating, the psychiatrist relied on a digital system with rigid "drop-box" options rather than detailed narrative notes. The source also explores the risks of prescribed SSRIs, specifically Zoloft, questioning whether the medication’s side effects like insomnia or suicidal ideation contributed to the patient's mental state. Ultimately, the episode illustrates a conflict between standard medication management and the perceived need for more rigorous, in-person psychiatric intervention.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/murder-files-unsealed--6017387/support.This episode includes AI-generated content.
