Postpartum Depression

The phone of the mother accused of murdering her three children revealed personal notes, searches about psychosis, hallucinations, and suicide, and hesitation to start a new medication treatment. The day before the children's murder, she wrote that prescription drugs had "stolen" her life from her.

Psychiatric testimonies revealed Lindsay Clancy's mental state before the tragedy: she suffered from depression, anxiety, insomnia, and intrusive thoughts, sought treatment, and was hospitalized. However, therapists testified that they did not identify signs of psychosis or danger after her discharge, describing her as clear and rational.
