Leslie Dobson on the Lindsay Clancy case and Postpartum depression

Part Two.

The Lindsay Clancy Murder Trial is forcing a harrowing national conversation about postpartum anxiety, depression, and psychosis. Lindsay Clancy is accused of the murders of her three children while in the throes of postpartum psychosis.

She was a psychotherapist and new mother when she experienced the most disturbing experience of her lifetime—postpartum psychosis. Sara was able to get the help she needed to recover, but not before hospitalization.

This is a Re-visit.

Doctors Jenna LeJune and Brian Goff.This show aired more than six years ago. We originally titled it “Why Therapy”. But in hindsight we easily could have called it “Why therapy could work for you and what to expect when you get there...Oh, and by the way there are different kinds of therapist approaches so, here’s what you could be looking for” It’s a Doctors only discussion and an interesting insider view from a couple of mental health care professionals. We hope you enjoy the episode.

Family members of people struggling with mental illness and addiction often ask themselves the same painful questions: What more should I have done? What did I miss? Why couldn’t I save them? Nigel Roberts knows those questions intimately. After losing both his daughter and former wife following their battles with bipolar disorder and addiction, the former World Bank director embarked on a two-month, 450-mile trek through Nepal. His new memoir, The Leopard and the Moon: A Journey in Dolpo, Nepal, chronicles that physical journey while exploring the emotional realities faced by countless caregivers whose efforts could not save the people they loved.
