@Protestia I love this. I sent it to my daughter because what an incredible journey and passion she has for the Lord. Inspiring!

[leslie armstrong @leelee7177]

@conservmillen I couldn’t disagree more. You apparently have had zero experience with ssri not mention mixed with ppd, lack of sleep. Plus , she methodically planned it? Nope

[Kim Witczak 💜 @woodymatters]

Tell that to the families of 12-year-old Candace Downing, who was prescribed Zoloft for test anxiety and shortly afterward hanged herself.

Or 13-year-old Matthew Miller, prescribed Zoloft after struggling with moving to a new city. 6 days later hanged himself in his closet.

Or my healthy 37-year-old husband, Woody, who was prescribed Zoloft for insomnia during an exciting new job. Five weeks later, he hanged himself in our garage.

None were depressed or had a history of depression.

These are not stories we get to simply dismiss because they complicate the claim that “Zoloft doesn’t make you kill.”

Suicide is violence against self. Homicide is violence against others.

And drug-induced agitation, akathisia, suicidality, hostility and behavioral changes have been concerns surrounding SSRIs for decades.

In my lawsuit against Pfizer, we obtained internal documents that had previously been under seal showing what the company knew and discussed about these risks.

And never forget: in 1991, the FDA convened an advisory committee on emergence of violence and suicide with Prozac,
the first SSRI approved in the U.S.

This difficult conversation is long overdue, and it did not begin with Lindsay Clancy.

Families have been asking these questions for decades.

The Clancy case is bringing them into the public spotlight. That matters. If we truly want to understand what went wrong and prevent future tragedies, we have to be willing to examine every contributing factor, including the medications and the current mental health “standard of care.”

Dismissing their role outright is not the path forward. Asking hard questions, following the evidence, and learning from what happened is.

Matt Walsh says temporary insanity is a myth, something from the movies. Millions of people heard him say it about the Lindsay Clancy case. In this video I respond as a psychiatrist, because I think he is asking a fair question and arriving at the wrong answer, and the difference matters enormously for how we understand this tragedy.

His argument is intuitive: a functional, coherent person cannot suddenly lose all agency, commit an act like this, and then get it back. I take that seriously, and he is right that there is no lab test that can prove what was happening in someone's mind at a specific moment in the past. But that is not how the question actually gets decided. Juries integrate evidence, and in this case the evidence is unusual: months of medical records documenting a woman deteriorating on psychiatric medications while she and her husband told doctors she was getting worse, a rapid benzodiazepine taper, an antidepressant dose doubled the day before the tragedy, no motive, no history of violence, and a husband who lost his three children still standing by her. I walk through why I believe the medications drove what happened, and why I think Massachusetts' legal threshold points toward a verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity.

I also respond to his framing of postpartum depression as largely an adjustment problem, hardest for the most selfish among us. The transition to motherhood is genuinely jarring, and he is not wrong that it demands the surrender of your own desires. But I have sat with too many struggling new mothers to accept selfishness as the explanation. What I see is isolation: mothers raising children far from family, without community, sleep deprived, and too often handed a prescription instead of support. I believe the enormous public interest in this case exists because so many women recognize a version of their own experience in it.

And on the GoFundMe controversy, I explain why I think a grieving family seeking help through the worst circumstances imaginable deserves something better than our contempt.

Whatever you conclude, this case deserves more than a culture war take. These children deserve to have the whole truth told about how this happened.

🚨 MY OPINION ON LINDSAY CLANCY IS NOT GOING TO BE POPULAR. 🚨

Based on what I have watched unfold across social media over the last 48 hours, especially from large MAGA conservative accounts, I am disgusted and angry.

I truly thought this was a movement willing to look beyond the headlines, ask uncomfortable questions, and challenge the systems we were told not to question.

💰 Yet suddenly everyone wants to focus ONLY on Lindsay Clancy while ignoring what this trial has exposed about psychiatric drugs and our mental-health system.

The timing and uniformity of this outrage makes me wonder: Who benefits when everyone stops asking those questions? The pharmaceutical and medical industries certainly don’t benefit from having them asked. Were people paid to push this narrative?

💔 Lindsay Clancy’s three children were innocent victims. Nothing changes that.

But that does NOT mean Lindsay could not also have been a victim of a broken mental-health and pharmaceutical system.

👩‍🍼 Millions of mothers have experienced postpartum depression. That is exactly why so many women have connected with parts of Lindsay’s story. They know what it feels like to recognize something is wrong, ask for help, trust the professionals treating them, and desperately want to feel like themselves again.

But apparently THAT isn’t the story some people want discussed.

It’s much easier to reduce this to “crazy liberal women want to kill their children” than to ask the much harder question:

How did a mother seeking help for postpartum depression deteriorate to this point in FOUR MONTHS while under professional medical care?

🌱 And I challenge everyone who claimed to support MAHA: IF THIS ISN’T THE TIME TO QUESTION THE SYSTEM, WHEN IS?

Within those four months, she was prescribed numerous psychiatric medications. Her toxicology showed multiple psychiatric drugs in her system, including an elevated level of Seroquel. She pleaded for help and continued to deteriorate.

Then the unthinkable happened.

💊 I believe those drugs and the way her mental-health treatment was handled played a role in what happened.

Look at the toxicology.

Look at the medications.

Look at the warnings and known adverse effects.

Look at the medication changes.

Look at how quickly her mental state deteriorated.

🔎 I refuse to pretend those questions don’t matter simply because the outcome was horrific.

You were willing to question Big Pharma when MAHA was the rallying cry. Where is that willingness now?

If MAHA actually means something, THIS is when we should be demanding answers from the pharmaceutical and medical industries, not attacking people for daring to question them.

💔 Three children are dead. Their mother took their lives, but I believe there is far more accountability to go around.

If we actually want to prevent another tragedy, we need to investigate HOW this continues to happen, not stop asking questions once we identify who committed the final act.

⚠️ If we won’t question the system after something this horrific, when will we?

@onlyHEisWorthy Exactly!!!

[leslie armstrong @leelee7177]

@Riley_Gaines_ Yes!

[leslie armstrong @leelee7177]

@megbasham I absolutely hate to agree with her but I do, and only on this issue. None of you have obviously watched the trial. This woman begged for help , the meds she was put on, should be illegal.

[leslie armstrong @leelee7177]

@TexasCowgrl1111 🥹

[leslie armstrong @leelee7177]

@Ellie121316 @GuntherEagleman I love that!!

[leslie armstrong @leelee7177]

@MattWalshBlog This is truly an ignorant post! My gosh.

[leslie armstrong @leelee7177]

@ProsecutorsPod This doesn’t sound like a suicide note, it sounds like someone who has been journaling the entire process which she clearly has. The woman was begging for help. She admits guilt ,ppp and all these meds, perfect storm.
