0:00So, we're talking today about Lindseay

0:01Clancy and we're all aware that she's on

0:04trial for some horrendous crimes. Based

0:06on what you've learned as this court

0:08case has unfolded, when does it start to

0:11become clear that something is wrong

0:13with Lindsay?

0:14>> Prior to these crimes, Lindsay Clancy

0:16was really your typical Massachusetts

0:19suburban mom. So, it really seems like

0:21the spiral, as it's been referred to in

0:23court, starts in September of 2022. So,

0:27at this point, the youngest, Callen, is

0:29around 4 months old, and the family has

0:32just had what was described as a very

0:34pleasant summer. Lindsay is supposed to

0:35be heading back to work in October, but

0:37starts to experience that same anxiety,

0:39and then it seems to become something

0:41deeper. The prosecution is arguing that

0:43Lindsay Clancy was in her right state of

0:46mind when she killed her kids. And they

0:48are claiming that she became so

0:50overwhelmed with motherhood and that she

0:52was such a controlling person in general

0:55that when she felt like she was losing

0:57that control and feeling so overwhelmed

0:58with having three kids that she made the

1:01decision that she wanted to take her own

1:02life and she wanted to take her children

1:04with her because she didn't feel like

1:06anyone could care for them the way she

1:08could. That's the motive being described

1:11to jurors by prosecutors. The defense

1:13has claimed that she was a wonderful

1:15mother who loved her kids, who

1:17experienced, you know, very normal

1:20anxiety about having one, two, never

1:23mind three children. Um, and that by all

1:26accounts, she was a wonderful mother

1:28until she snapped that day.

1:30>> This conversation around postpartum

1:32mental illness has been charged in this

1:34country for quite some time, obviously,

1:35because often it involves very gruesome

1:37crimes. Do you have a sense of how often

1:40postpartum psychosis can lead to

1:43infanticide? [music]

1:44>> Yeah. So, I want to be very clear on

1:46something. The vast majority of women

1:49incur no violence. Okay. No violence. I

1:53think it's really this is rare treatable

1:55and most women do not do not act

1:58violently. The research is a little

2:00imperfect and it has been misattributed.

2:02So, it's it's even more rare than I

2:04think the media right now is sort of

2:06latching on to. If you are starting to

2:07have thoughts, right, common thoughts

2:09and that sometimes get overnormalized

2:11are that I'm a burden to my family. I am

2:13not a good enough mother. We shouldn't

2:16be here. Right? These thoughts, we

2:18normalize them as, "Oh gosh, mom guilt."

2:20Or, "Oh man, it's so hard to be a mom."

2:23But if those thoughts are persistent,

2:26you should talk to someone.
