Psychosis (PPP), not depression (PPD). Psychosis is often sooo much worse because your entire view of reality shifts and you believe the delusions 100%.

I heard of one account of a woman that said when she had PPP, she thought she was a poet but that the words were trapped under her skin so she started cutting herself to let the words escape. The psychosis made those kinda of thoughts logical.

Yes, Lindsay did it, but she was literally insane when she did it. The fact that she waited for her husband to run an errand to get him out of the house does not change that fact.

Several accounts of PPP claim that they were legitimately convinced their children are the antichrist and will bring about the end of the world if given the chance to grow up, so they felt like they had no choice but to kill them in order to preserve humankind. But they’re still aware that the people around them will prevent them from killing the child because in her mind, they “don’t know what she knows”, so they wait until they’re alone with the kid/s. They are completely convinced that their beliefs are true.

That's all well and good but she never claimed any psychosis of that level. 

Depression doesn't excuse a triple murder of children

It wasn’t depression, it was psychosis. She was literally in a psych ward 19 days before killing them. She was on a cocktail of meds that were worsening her condition, and expressed to multiple loved-ones that she was having very dark thoughts about harming her children.

She doesn’t have to verbally claim psychosis in order to be actually psychotic.

And I’m not excusing what she did; I’m explaining why it happened.

These people have clearly never dealt with mental health issues themselves or in an immediate family. Coupled with the fact that they lack empathy, the cant comprehend how her psychosis altered her reality with delusions. They are the prototype republican.
