I've seen some people claim that the manner in which Clancy killed each of her children somehow proves that she *wasn't* psychotic at the time (because of how violent the acts were). But, the research on PPP suggests otherwise -- Psychotic infanticide is typically driven by command hallucinations or delusions, and the killing is often ego-syntonic -- meaning the mother *genuinely believes* she is acting rationally or protectively. The PPP forensic literature (Resnick) has noted that psychosis-driven infanticide can involve more overtly violent methods (drowning, stabbing, defenestration or throwing someone out of a window, strangulation) because the mother is responding to an imperative psychotic experience *rather than* acting with calculated intent. >> APPI, ACOG #LindsayClancy


@benchslappedtv I have watched many trials and no judge, except this one would allow the defendant to be crying and carrying on he would have them removed so this judge does not have control of this courtroom














Katherine Myers shared her postpartum psychosis story and thousands of mothers responded — recognizing the same voices, the same fear. Now, as the Lindsay Clancy trial begins over the deaths of Cora, Dawson, and Callan, her story adds context the jury won't hear firsthand. 🎧 youtu.be/Is19pp20o94
