About this episode

Send us Fan MailA mother can be terrified, begging for help, and still be sent home. A mother can look organised on a video visit and still be collapsing behind the scenes. This week we close our postpartum psychosis series with two cases that force the hardest questions in maternal mental health, forensic psychiatry, and criminal responsibility. Trigger warning: child deaths, suicide, severe mental illness, psychosis, and a brief mention of cannibalism. If this series helped you think differently about postpartum depression, postpartum psychosis, warning signs, and emergency care, please subscribe, share the episode, and leave us a review so more people can find it.Resources Associated Press trial overview, Associated Press closing-argument coverage, Massachusetts criminal-responsibility instruction, and Plymouth County District Attorney case release.Mom Who Mutilated Newborn Enters Plea — San Antonio Express-NewsDocuments Released in Case of Mother Who Killed Her Son — KHOU911 Call Reveals Horror Over Baby’s Mutilation — Houston ChronicleMistrial Declared After Jury Deadlocks — Associated PressKey Moments in the Lindsay Clancy Case — Associated PressA Look at the Lindsay Clancy Murder Trial — Associated PressWhat Happens After the Lindsay Clancy Mistrial? — CBS NewsTestimony from Psychiatrists Who Treated Clancy — CBS BostonClancy’s Psychiatric Care Before the Children’s Deaths — CBS BostonMassachusetts Model Jury Instructions: Criminal ResponsibilityCommonwealth v.
