That's not how postpartum depression/ psychosis works. Everything can feel fine (or at least baseline), but then you are suddenly overcome by intrusive thoughts and heaviness that can't be explained. The woman wasn't a murderer. She had a sickness that wasn't treated or monitored properly.

@@evilqueenyiayia I agree 1,000%!!!! My daughter just turned 2 years old and I just started coming out on the other side of my post partum depression a couple months ago. My entire pregnancy was horrible mentally and physically! 8 months pregnant + 20 months = 28 months/2 years and 4 months of severe pre/post depression! I do not wish it on any Mother or depression on any person! Hospitals should keep Mothers longer than just 1 day to 5 days. It should be made mandatory or a LAW that within a month of giving birth you should have to see a doctor and then every 3 months after up until 2 years after birth. Post partum depression does not have a time line! It can start within a few days to months after birth and last for several years after!!! I pray for all Mothers and I pray that if you are struggling you seek help!!!

my daughter is a wonderful mother. She had a 3rd child ten years after her first two were born. She was depressed to the point where I didn’t know her any longer. My amazing son in law watched the older two and my husband and I practically had the infant most of the time. She just cried, didn’t really talk to us much and was in and out of the hospital. I remember the day that she told me she didn’t care if she lived or not. I couldn’t stand seeing her like that. When the baby was about 6 months old she started crying for him. Then, after she was just back to normal, the guilt set in. That baby is 12 and that whole family is just wonderful. But what a devastating time that was.

[@herroyalhighness5634]

Society seems to be much more forgiving of psychosis when you add the word post-partum in front of it. Anyone who could kill their kids is psychotic, but women get treated with MUCH more sympathy. Also by definition she doesn’t meet the criteria for post-partum psychosis as she was not in the immediate period post-partum. That term is used to refer to psychosis that happens hours, days, or max a few weeks after giving birth. So she’s just a regular psycho like all the other child-killers.

My sister and daughter suffered postpartum psychosis. Luckily my sisters husband stopped her before she harmed her child. She is the most loving mother. When their brain is not well they are not themselves and they hear voices and that becomes their reality. Very scary to see someone you love go through that. My daughter started to become ill after her first child. She could not sleep was up cleaning organizing the house all night. I told her husband to take her to the dr she’s not well. I recognized the manic behavior. It took several doctors to believe me something was wrong. She thought it was the end of the world and needed to leave this life. We got her help it was difficult because they can fool you. To where they appear ok to the drs but when they are around them for a while they see their delusions. We had her the baby and her husband move in with us. We watched and cared for her never left her alone. They put her on 23 different drugs trying to regulate her moods. It was hell for her. She is a beautiful loving mother. Psychosis is no joke. Poor Lindsay and her sweet children and her husband. She should have been monitored with those drugs. It can make their brain so ill. So sad she didn’t get the help she needed. This could have been prevented.

[@lisatomlinson5869]

@ Not defending understanding unfortunately you don’t understand and are quick to judge. There are consequences for her actions and she will have to pay for those consequences. I am sure with time. Sadly I hope the medical field will reevaluate how they treat patients and the effect of these psycho medications. She tried to get help they should have kept her hospitalized and observed to make sure she was well. She obviously was trying to get help but they sent someone home mentally unstable to care for herself and her children. She should have never been put in that situation. There needs to be more education and accountability for doctors prescribing these drugs. When my daughter was not well she was rational to the emergency room doctor. She was so manic I begged them to admit her when I took her to the hospital. They said they would not admit her unless she tried to harm someone or someone else.. This is what they do and apparently it happened and the poor this poor sick woman who now has to live with this the rest of her life. It’s so hard mental health you see a broken arm and everyone concerned but a broken mind they can’t tell and it goes uncheck and no empathy.

There is a lot of sympathy for this woman because she is wealthy and supposedly from a good environment. We say to ourselves "how could this perfect mother do such a thing?". But how would a poverty stricken woman from the ghetto be treated by the law after having done this same act? You don't hear much sympathy for those mothers who kill, even if they have a history of mental disturbance. This nice looking, semi wealthy woman committed a horrible crime which was premeditated, regardless of how wonderful an environment she came from and regardless of how many people insist that she was a splendid person. Three children died a horrible death. I think that fact is the first priority of the legal system to recognize and deal with. Sometimes nice people do awful things. I experienced prolonged, horrible withdrawal from a psych med so I know that drugs can play a part, however, can we ignore the crime when exploring the role that drugs may or may not have played?

People don't understand Postpartum Depression it messes with your brain you think thing you know is wrong but sometimes mom's think the kids are safer without me & the monsters in the world, People's judgment makes moms feel ashamed also this mom had too many babies to close together and was left alone to many times the families knew she was unwell but still chose to take chances this dad should also feel some kind of responsibility as being her partner through sickness & health he should have been the one making sure she got what she needed to be a healthy young mom and wife....

[@kristenbarker29]

I am by no means excusing the horrific nature of this crime, but I will tell you that postpartum depression is really something you just can't understand unless you personally experience it. I had it with both of my children, particularly my 2nd. I really felt like there was a different person trapped in my body. The disconnection, constant sadness, frequent bouts of hysterical crying, isolation. If you don't understand this feeling after giving birth, I am happy for you because I would never wish that misery on anyone. OB medical staff really need to educate expectant and new mothers about postpartum,the signs to look for, and the difference between what is considered normal and what classifies as postpartum depression. 1 day of recovery before sending a mother home is NOT enough. Mandatory welfare checks for the 1st year would be helpful also. The husband's testimony during the trial will be crucial to the case.

I'd like to speculate this issie anyways as a hat's off to Patrick finding it in himself to not build up unecesary animosity towards Lindsey when it's probably easier to do that (so long as he's one who truely loves his children) then resort otherwise. However, being diciplined to avoid deeper depths of disparity... would also seemingly be aligned with the capability of promoting actual prosperity for oneself, in the midst of the right instances and situations to come along too.
