I don’t know if it’s because I work in Women’s Health, or because I’ve seen postpartum psychosis happen to people I know personally, but I have had strong feelings about the Lindsay Clancy case.
And I’ll admit that I’ve spent time standing firm in my opinion and believing that my view of the case was the correct one.
But lately, I’ve realized something.
Maybe the better place for my time and energy isn’t arguing about a case that has already brought unimaginable tragedy to so many people.
Maybe it’s making sure another woman, and another family, knows where to turn for help.
Postpartum psychosis is a psychiatric emergency.
It can involve hallucinations, delusions, paranoia, severe confusion, unusual beliefs, dramatic changes in behavior, or a woman seeming disconnected from reality.
If you are in Middle Tennessee and believe a mother may be experiencing postpartum psychosis, please do not wait for a routine appointment.
We can debate cases and courtrooms all day.
But maybe one of the most important things we can do with these conversations is make sure women and families know that postpartum psychosis is real, it is serious, and help is available.
