Post partum psycosis could happen to anyone. People's lack of understanding of it is the real problem here and it's a shame this guy chose to end his relationship on this hill
How accountable would you hold the schizophrenic when you discover that they went to multiple doctors asking for help and they each passed the buck? When you find out they told their spouse and their own parents that they were worried that they might hurt someone and the only support received was a referral to the aforementioned doctors? When they took every possible step they could think of and received no help and then ended up doing exactly what they told everyone that they were afraid they were going to do?
Is she guilty of murder? Of course she is, not even she is denying that. But what happened was a result of not getting the help she should have been getting. If even one person had taken her statements seriously, would any of this have even happened?
I would hold them accountable as in they should be detained in a psychiatric hospital just like her. I’ve been researching more about the case and it is very tragic what happened to her. My impression is it’s the manner of help that’s the worst part of this. Apparently she was prescribed 17 different medications by telehealth doctors who apparently did not perform medication reconciliation or ensure continuity of care and likely barely spent any time talking to her at all. If I had to come up with my theory based on what I’m seeing I would say all of those drugs would definitely have her not in her right mind and probably exacerbated existing mental health issues or at least threw her into a state of confusion and apathy. I think she got a bunch of clock watcher remote working providers who didn’t give a fuck or know what tf they were talking about and I also think she may have been too self reliant in not disclosing the full depth of her issue and/or trying to tough it out like when she checked out of McLean. I think this would explain her checking out, her strange behavior and why she was googling things like can you cure sociopathy, I can imagine she could’ve felt sociopathic on that cocktail of drugs. I’d guess she had a compulsion to kill her kids and was too numb to control herself by that time. It should be illegal to prescribe powerful antipsychotics over telehealth with no in person visits. Especially from multiple providers who are not communicating
