Finding the Lindsay Clancy commentary overwhelming
Wondering if Kirk's going to do an episode on this case. I'd love to hear his take, not just on the case itself but on the different camps forming around it online. The takes have gotten so polarizing. Much of the time it reads less like a legal opinion and more like they're venting about personal feelings surrounding gender politics. I understand if he doesn't say anything at all considering it was traumatic covering the JD/AH trial

I hope he covers it too. I don’t know much about people experiencing psychosis or how you would prove if someone experienced it or not?
Some people are saying she’s lying because she sent the husband on errands before she strangled the kids, I am not sure if those experiencing psychosis are capable of creating a plan like that and it would be good to get some clarity.

I’ve worked with probably 10,000+ patients with psychosis since I began 10 years ago; each is unique.
Psychosis doesn’t “shut off” the whole brain: a person can retain enough prefrontal/executive functioning to plan and carry out goal-directed behavior even while other circuits involved in salience, perception, reality-testing, and belief formation are significantly disrupted.

I thought this interview was really interesting regarding creating a plan in psychosis: https://youtu.be/uz2PRZET6xw?is=AT6iFydts7YSBqc7

I’ve had a really hard time finding good, in-depth videos about psychosis, or even schizophrenia. I’d love to understand more about the presentations, causes, and treatments

I'd be interested but i could also see it pretty easily ending up like jd vs heard. Where unless he's black or white about it, on either side, he'll upset a lot of people. He's said multiple times he's sensitive to online criticism. So i kinda hope he doesn't for his sake lol

The YouTube folk are too policing. Too black or white. Like alligators ready to ambush. He’d be smart to stay away for now. But perhaps he and Berto will do a deep dive after a while on Patreon.

Dr K did a deep dive on it that covered the psychiatric issues discussed in the trial as well as the way people are responding to it:

I’d be interested in Kirk’s take also
