I was wrong about Lindsay Clancy. Here’s why I changed my mind.
She was never diagnosed with postpartum depression or psychosis. She was not on 13 medications at once. She was not “hearing voices.” She was not abandoned by her family.
She was diagnosed with a mood disorder - never psychosis - and went to a variety of doctors who all prescribed different medications, which she took unreliably and not simultaneously.
She only heard a voice one time - and that was right before she killed her kids. Extremely atypical for psychosis.
She carefully planned her children’s murders down to the minute. She researched the distance of a restaurant she’d ask Patrick to go to. Added on a last-minute errand before he left. Calmly answered his phone call in the middle of her crime. Brought her children down to the basement one by one, overpowering their resistance and killing them slowly.
It does seem like she had support from her family. She may have still been overwhelmed, but it’s not true that all of her cries for help went unanswered.
I originally placed too much blame on the many SSRIs she was prescribed. For years on my show, I’ve talked to health professionals who have been warning about the violence-inducing effects of these drugs, and I thought Lindsay’s case may be an example of that reality.
Is it still possible these SSRIs had a negative effect? Absolutely. But the case that these drove her into a psychotic episode is weak.
This evidence continues to reveal, in my opinion, that Lindsay Clancy methodically murdered her children and she was fully aware of what she was doing.

I can only speak from 28 years of law enforcement experience...
Agree with this man. This what real Psychosis sounds like in my experience.
Not, I'll take the Mediterranean Power Bowl and don't forget the Pedialax.
Waiting on the expert testimony...

Well there it is!! I pray that the jury gets this right and these babies get the justice they deserve!! This was out of pure evil and selfishness.. NOT psychosis! #lindsayclancy video credit: East Idaho News
Trump: “The United States is giving serious consideration to changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America”
This stupid clown is panicking and starting to realize he got us into a stupid trade war he can’t win that will cost Republicans the Senate, so now he’s trying to pressure Canada into surrendering with a threat to rename Lake Ontario “Lake America.”
What a moron.
Lindsay Clancy's Psychologist Heilbrun on hearing voices
If you can't remember anything when you regain consciousness, how do you remember the voices?
Incident January 24, 2023
February 6, 2023
Lindsay calls her husband in the presence of a psychologist her lawyer hired to assess her mental state, according to prosecutors. She tells Patrick that after he left the home on Jan. 24, she heard voices and had “a moment of psychosis,” prosecutors claim.
“He asked her what voices she heard, and she said that she heard a man’s voice telling her to kill the kids and kill herself because it was her last chance,” prosecutors say.

Dr. Barbara Olson, medical examiner also conducted an autopsy on Dawson Clancy. She described what she observed on Dawson Clancy’s body as she examined him.
Photos of Dawson were shown to the jury over Defense Attorney Kevin Reddington's objection.
Lindsay Clancy was heard crying again.
Dawson Clancy died of asphyxia💔

See you have to be intelligent if you’re the one holding the mic and that’s where I think this whole thing went sideways.
The nonchalant way that she just goes about eating the burrito and owning her is hilarious
NONE OF THE DOCTORS SAID THERE WERE LIGATURE MARKS AROUND THE KIDS NECKS.
That narrative popped up in the state police report in relation to statements from a Duxbury Cop, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
In the last 32 hours the cellphone and video evidence has been shown in Lindsay Clancy trial. Patrick Clancy was in communication with Lindsay while at the store during the time period where the kids were murdered. They have GPS data showing Lindsay Clancy moving around the house. She even called Patrick back which cellphone data shows.
TikTokers have fabricated a fairy tale. I really don't think people appreciate how insane this is.
Closing arguments could begin Monday in Lindsay Clancy’s trial in the 2023 deaths of her three young children. She has pleaded not guilty, but does not deny killing them. Clancy’s lawyers argue she was suffering from severe postpartum psychosis and should not be held criminally responsible.
CBS News legal analyst Caroline Polisi shares what the prosecution may aim to do in its closing arguments — and why Clancy will not be free if she is found not guilty.
This is just how I feel. Those babies were MURDERED. Can you imagine finding your children like that?! & the trauma the police officers experienced from seeing that. I just can’t get myself to feel any sympathy for Lindsay Clancy..💔🙌🏻🤷🏻♀️💯
NEW: Psychologist Paul Zeizel recalls Lindsay Clancy's confession to her husband after killing their kids.
Zeizel says he was in the room when Clancy first told her husband over the phone that she heard a "male voice" tell her to kill their kids.
"She had said that she heard a male voice ordering her, telling her that she didn’t have any choice, but she had to kill her children and then kill herself."

Defense Attorney Kevin Reddington asks Rebecca Jollotta about messages Lindsay Clancy had sent her - about having “horrible intrusive thoughts” all day, until taking an Ativa.
Rebecca Jollotta said she followed up with questions & Lindsay Clancy's answers about considering suic*de changed during treatment.
Rebecca Jollotta said she 5 five people for postpartum psychosis, some of whom heard voices or saw hallucinations.
“It is not uncommon for me to hear, ‘I have never felt anything like this before’ … all of this sounds like postpartum depression” Rebecca Jollotta wrote to Lindsay Clancy at one point.
I'm sorry, but this bothers me.
Lindsay tells her husband and mother that she was having intrusive thoughts about harming herself and the children.
But she was ignored. Seemingly by both her husband and mother.
After her mental health began to decline 3-4 months earlier.
Why would a business trip, after Lindsay's admission, be so important that his work came before his wife and children?
So many questions, so little time.
🚨 The Lindsay Clancy case is devastating. Her family knew she was struggling, doctors prescribed 13+ medications and experts will debate whether psychosis erased criminal responsibility.
Nothing can eclipse the children who will never grow up.
My conversation with @ToddPiro.
Personally, I think she’s faking her cries to gain sympathy from the jury. But even if the tears are real, it doesn’t make any difference. She must be served justice.
May the Lord bring her to repentance.
