@tidliwink @excitableone311 @Courtne91162652 And the defence is arguing she should have been, with some pretty compelling evidence. She kept extremely diligent journals with a record of her medications and symptoms.

@berlin_darling @MoreOrLessAMess @lifesaparty36 @83Turnerb @LDBlondePod You’re going to judge people for having blue hair? You’ve got Lolita quotes on your profile. I know who I’d rather have my back.

@excitableone311 @Courtne91162652 I’m sorry you suffered postpartum depression, that must have been hard. It’s also an entirely different diagnosis to postpartum PSYCHOSIS. Depressive episodes and psychotic episodes are extremely different things.

[Wake me up when @we_get_there]

@berlin_darling @MoreOrLessAMess @lifesaparty36 @83Turnerb @LDBlondePod You’re projecting rationality onto severe mental illness. Psychosis isn’t rational, and it only takes one episode for tragedy to occur. It’s clear her mental health had been suffering for some time, and her symptoms were getting worse.

[Wake me up when @we_get_there]

@berlin_darling @lifesaparty36 @83Turnerb @LDBlondePod Yes, if that man had repeatedly reached out to mental health professionals because he thought he may be a danger to his kids and himself, and was given a variety of psychiatric meds in rapid secession that can trigger psychosis.

[Wake me up when @we_get_there]

@berlin_darling @lifesaparty36 @83Turnerb @LDBlondePod Right, which is in part what this trial is about. A large part of the defence’s argument is that she was misdiagnosed, and the antidepressants she was on triggered a psychotic episode. I’m not a doctor and presumably neither are you, I’ve found the evidence pretty compelling.

[Wake me up when @we_get_there]

@berlin_darling @lifesaparty36 @83Turnerb @LDBlondePod Categorising postpartum psychosis as ‘depressed, anxious, sleep-deprived, unhappy, etc.’ is troubling. Just like schizophrenia, postpartum psychosis is a psychotic disorder. It includes breaks from reality like delusions and hallucinations, similar to schizophrenia.

@murray777777 @SorensenFarms @LaGrecca333 Me and my graduate degree can read just fine, thanks. I just have the adult understanding that a woman with psychosis who murdered two children is not going to be released after 40 days. What is technically possible doesn’t matter when reality is clearly limited.

[Wake me up when @we_get_there]

@FistingLater @Mike_OMac @LaGrecca333 People kill each other all the time without being mentally ill. Most murders are not caused by mental illness. People are morally abhorrent without being mentally ill. And not ill mental illnesses make a person not criminally liable for their actions.

@murray777777 @SorensenFarms @LaGrecca333 I actually don’t need to argue with the state, because Lindsay Clancy’s lawyers are arguing with the state on her behalf. And if the world is just she’ll receive the treatment she needs.

[Wake me up when @we_get_there]

@SorensenFarms @murray777777 @LaGrecca333 This is an idiotic response. We can ad IQ tests to the list of things you don’t understand.

[Wake me up when @we_get_there]

@FistingLater @Mike_OMac @LaGrecca333 If you genuinely believe we should be killing people because of the actions they take when suffering severe mental illness, even if they were doing what they were supposed to to get help, I actually have nothing left to say to you.

[Wake me up when @we_get_there]

@murray777777 @SorensenFarms @LaGrecca333 And it’s possible that if I walk off the Empire State Building I’ll fly, but probably not.

[Wake me up when @we_get_there]

@murray777777 @SorensenFarms @LaGrecca333 I’m just trying to see the evidence behind your reasoning. If u want to lock up people with severe mental illnesses in places they won’t get adequate treatment because u think they’re getting released to the public after a month you should have some evidence that it’s happening.

[Wake me up when @we_get_there]

@murray777777 @SorensenFarms @LaGrecca333 I would like for you to provide one instance of a person who was found not guilty of child murder because of insanity and then released 40 days later.

[Wake me up when @we_get_there]

@LaterLomastro @Whatifanythingg @LaGrecca333 That’s basically what’s happening here. This trial isn’t about if she killed the kids, she’s admitted that. It’s about if she can be held criminally responsible. If yes, she’ll go to prison, if not (because of the psychosis) she’ll still spend the rest of her life in a hospital.

[Wake me up when @we_get_there]

@Whatifanythingg @LaGrecca333 You’re misunderstanding this trial. They’re not deciding whether or not she walks free, they’re deciding if she spends the rest of her life in a hospital having her severe mental illness treated, or if she’ll go to a prison instead. There’s no future where they ‘just let her go.’

[Wake me up when @we_get_there]

@Mike_OMac @LaGrecca333 Nobody’s letting Lindsay Clancy go. This trial is about whether she spends the rest of her life in a prison or a hospital. There’s no future where she walks out of court a free person. You’re making false equivalencies because you don’t understand what’s actually happening here.

[Wake me up when @we_get_there]

@SorensenFarms @murray777777 @LaGrecca333 I think you’re misunderstanding this trial, because even if she’s found not culpable because of psychosis, she’s still likely going to spend the rest of her life locked away. This trial isn’t about “will she go to prison or go free” it’s about “will she be punished or treated.”
