So, we're talking today about Lindseay
0:01
Clancy and we're all aware that she's on
0:04
trial for some horrendous crimes. Based
0:06
on what you've learned as this court
0:08
case has unfolded, when does it start to
0:11
become clear that something is wrong
0:13
with Lindsay?
0:14
>> Prior to these crimes, Lindsay Clancy
0:16
was really your typical Massachusetts
0:19
suburban mom. So, it really seems like
0:21
the spiral, as it's been referred to in
0:23
court, starts in September of 2022. So,
0:27
at this point, the youngest, Callen, is
0:29
around 4 months old, and the family has
0:32
just had what was described as a very
0:34
pleasant summer. Lindsay is supposed to
0:35
be heading back to work in October, but
0:37
starts to experience that same anxiety,
0:39
and then it seems to become something
0:41
deeper. The prosecution is arguing that
0:43
Lindsay Clancy was in her right state of
0:46
mind when she killed her kids. And they
0:48
are claiming that she became so
0:50
overwhelmed with motherhood and that she
0:52
was such a controlling person in general
0:55
that when she felt like she was losing
0:57
that control and feeling so overwhelmed
0:58
with having three kids that she made the
1:01
decision that she wanted to take her own
1:02
life and she wanted to take her children
1:04
with her because she didn't feel like
1:06
anyone could care for them the way she
1:08
could. That's the motive being described
1:11
to jurors by prosecutors. The defense
1:13
has claimed that she was a wonderful
1:15
mother who loved her kids, who
1:17
experienced, you know, very normal
1:20
anxiety about having one, two, never
1:23
mind three children. Um, and that by all
1:26
accounts, she was a wonderful mother
1:28
until she snapped that day.
1:30
>> This conversation around postpartum
1:32
mental illness has been charged in this
1:34
country for quite some time, obviously,
1:35
because often it involves very gruesome
1:37
crimes. Do you have a sense of how often
1:40
postpartum psychosis can lead to
1:43
infanticide? [music]
1:44
>> Yeah. So, I want to be very clear on
1:46
something. The vast majority of women
1:49
incur no violence. Okay. No violence. I
1:53
think it's really this is rare treatable
1:55
and most women do not do not act
1:58
violently. The research is a little
2:00
imperfect and it has been misattributed.
2:02
So, it's it's even more rare than I
2:04
think the media right now is sort of
2:06
latching on to. If you are starting to
2:07
have thoughts, right, common thoughts
2:09
and that sometimes get overnormalized
2:11
are that I'm a burden to my family. I am
2:13
not a good enough mother. We shouldn't
2:16
be here. Right? These thoughts, we
2:18
normalize them as, "Oh gosh, mom guilt."
2:20
Or, "Oh man, it's so hard to be a mom."
2:23
But if those thoughts are persistent,
2:26
you should talk to someone.
