What Happened When Lindsay Clancy Finally Asked for Postpartum Help

By mid-December 2022, Lindsay Clancy's psychiatric nurse practitioner had exhausted her outpatient tools. Rebecca Jollotta had spent weeks adjusting medications while Clancy messaged her constantly about worsening symptoms, intrusive thoughts, and sleeplessness she could not shake.Clancy faces three first-degree murder charges in the deaths of her children at the family's Duxbury home on January 24, 2023. She has admitted to the killings. Her attorneys argue postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder left her unable to distinguish right from wrong. Prosecutors contend she planned the deaths and carried them out with intent.On December 12, Jollotta recommended partial hospitalization. Three days later the couple called to report Clancy's worst day and persistent thoughts of ending her life. Jollotta told them to seek evaluation at Massachusetts General Hospital.They chose Women & Infants Hospital in Providence instead, a postpartum-specific program. Jollotta anticipated a two-week admission. Clancy spent one day. Reddington asked on cross-examination whether the facility turned her away because staff believed she had been overmedicated.Jollotta was the sole provider who had raised a bipolar possibility, telling Clancy and her husband Patrick at a December 6 appointment that the medication reactions concerned her. Patrick dismissed the diagnosis. Jollotta never consulted Dr. Jennifer Tufts, who was prescribing to Clancy simultaneously. On redirect, prosecutor Jennifer Sprague asked whether Jollotta ever believed Clancy was experiencing postpartum psychosis. Jollotta answered that she did not.Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
