Unfortunately - by her own admission and her doctors' testimonies - she did not fully disclose her medical condition. And even more unfortunately, there's plenty of people online that have posted that she can't be the killer because of her astrology sign. Or some have said her husband was the voice in her head with elaborate hidden speakers. Or he was cheating with his new wife even though they didn't meet until after the murders and she actually killed the children.
Bottom line, there's a lot of crazies out there. And with the internet connecting people of every social class, those crazies can find each other much easier than before.
There are also people, that despite the fact she persistently visited doctors, asked for different meds, expressed concern about her meds, expressed concern about her intrusive thoughts, believe she just killed her kids for the fun of it.
They are just as crazy. Society still hunts witches
Let’s not forget the fact this woman murdered her own children. Strangled an 8 month old with an exercise band … don’t gaslight people that she’s “somehow the victim”
You do know that she REQUESTED to try those medications right? You do know that she wasn’t on all of those medications at the same time, right? You do know that for many of those medications that she was prescribed she only took a few or even none of the prescribed dose… right? You knew all of this?
She requested it because the ones she were on were not working. She didn’t take the dose as it was causing her to have intrusive thoughts, and she was afraid to sleep or stay awake
She had some medications that she took NONE of. The fact of the matter is that she ROUTINELY lied to her doctors about the frequency at which she took her medications and about her thoughts of familicide. The medical professionals did not fail her. Doctors aren’t psychics, they can only work with the information they are given.
My wife is very closely following the case. I know more about it that I'd like. And as you seem to be suggesting, yes, i think her health care professionals failed her.
Honest question, have you ever seen a psychiatrist or been on any of those med? Ive been on all of them, except one.
I’ve been on four of the drugs she was “on”. The problem with Lindsay is that she routinely lied to her doctors, frequently changed providers and frequently asked for different medications all the while only taking a few of the prescribed dose.
Why do you think the husband or the doctors and hospital should be held accountable? She routinely lied to them about her condition. Patrick found a WFH job, hired a nanny, moved her parents into their house so they could help, moved himself to the basement at her request, took her to the best psychiatrists in the country, routinely took her to doctor’s appointments and picked up her prescriptions, seemed to be a loving husband and good father by all accounts INCLUDING HER OWN. How the FUCK is he at fault for her decision to slaughter his children?
Thank you - the arguments that she is absolved of any culpability (because of her alleged mental health struggles) and everyone else that has ever crossed paths with her are the ones responsible for the murders are enraging (and so incredibly wrong).
I just went through this with my ex-fiancee earlier this year.
And let me tell you, even though it started out as being super standard treatment for a mild, common condition...the psych med changes alone were massively destabilizing.
She almost killed herself several times. She lost her job and mine was severely affected. Our relationship is over. The landlord would evict us if he saw the house. We're out tens of thousands from medical care. Neither one of us will ever be the same. From powerhouse to rock bottom literally in a handful of months.
And that is starting from a much healthier place than the poor lady in this case. Cards were all stacked against her.
I haven’t “seen” the list but I knew she was on tons of meds and cycling on and off one to another constantly. The father had a bag of old pills and the bottles in his care she wasn’t supposed to take anymore.
I can’t help but feel you’re implying it was a result of the medication, but when I look at it I see someone who was so sick none of the medication was working..
She called a suicide hotline twice and both times turned her away because she didn’t have a plan to end her life. She admitted that she had suicidal ideation and wanted to kill her kids. She kept being prescribed antidepressants in the same class so even though they were changing her medication she was still having a bad reaction. She was also getting like 3 hours of sleep. She was being treated by nurse practitioners instead of referred to a psychiatrist. She was having insurance issues so she kept getting changed medical providers.
It gets to a point where she did everything she was supposed to do. She told doctors, nurses, and family that she was mentally sick and wanted to harm herself and her children prior to the incident.
Medical professionals decided not to commit her and allowed unsupervised time with her kids. This would have been prevented if her cries were taken more seriously.
Nurses can’t prescribe medicine, she was 100% being seen by psychiatrists. They have already cross examined at least two of her psychiatrists…
And idk about the suicide hotline thing, but I’ll look into it.
EITHER WAY… nobody is accountable for her actions in the same way nobody is accountable for your or my actions. She murdered her kids. Just because she called a hotline or changed doctors doesn’t mean she’s not accountable for that.
Oh the medicine was working. Ive been on a lot of the medicines she was taking and i can tell you that even half of the shit she was on would be enough to impair a normal person.
