Sleep deprivation can cause psychosis, medications can cause psychosis, bipolar can cause psychosis, PPP while rare, includes psychosis, but because she looked “normal” she couldn’t be in psychosis #lindsayclancy
@RebelMisfi80846@lulufleur I didn’t say it was an excuse. You should deem yourself very lucky if you’ve never had to experience someone you love suffering from psychosis
@Proctor_404@letthem25 I don’t think people really
Understand what being on a 1:1 is like. I don’t think she will ever live her best life again. That doesn’t take away the horror of what happened to her children, but she will never be the same
@LexLiberty76 It’s so terrifying. You can study something or read about something, but until you experience it first hand you really can’t understand it. There needs to be more education especially in the healthcare field
@veronicaromm@thatvirgobrat4 Thank you for listening with an open mind. I never condone murder, especially of children. I just have seen what psychosis can do to wonderful people. Reading about it or hearing about it is so different than seeing it happening
@veronicaromm@thatvirgobrat4 I also work in the mental health field as well as have personal experience with 2 people in my family that have psychosis. One of them it’s very obvious and one of them you wouldn’t know it unless you knew the subtle signs they show
@coffeeknits Yes, and it’s so frustrating! I’m in no way trying to excuse the killing of children. I’m just trying to get people to understand mental illness
@lulufleur I’m not missing anything and I didn’t say psychosis was a free pass to kill anyone, especially children. I’ve seen the darkness of psychosis make a normal wonderful person become something else. Unless you’ve experienced it you can never understand it
@StuCFC2 It’s a total joke. 15 minute appointments, push medications and then a lot times try to accuse you of being a med seeker because you need more meds to fight the side effects
@McKaylaRoseRed No one is saying postpartum depression is an excuse. Psychosis is a different ballgame and can have someone do things they would never do if their mind was right. I believe there still needs to be consequences for the actions though
@itskikidanger Andrea Yates also killed her children when her husband wasn’t home and didn’t stop after killing one. She drowned 5 children some she had to chase, but according to her Lindsay wasn’t in psychosis because she didn’t stop after 1
