Lindsay Clancy's trial puts postpartum psychosis on the map

Lindsay Clancy's trial puts postpartum psychosis in the spotlight Watch: What is postpartum psychosis and why is it central in the Lindsay Clancy trial? Ana Faguy Warning: This story contains distressing details and discussion of attempted suicide A month before Lindsay Clancy killed her three children, she went to her mother and then-husband and told them she had "thoughts of harming the children".

Clancy's mother Paula Musgrove testified this week that during that time Lindsay would say: "'This isn't me, I've never been like this before.' And I would agree, because she wasn't." Clancy is not disputing that she carried out the killings, but has pleaded not guilty to murder charges. Her defence argues that Clancy was suffering from postpartum psychosis when she took her children's lives. Her symptoms included hallucinations and delusions that began after the birth of her third child.
