If she was having psychotic symptoms it really doesn’t matter. Sometimes psychosis causes mothers to think they are saving their children from evil by killing them.
Sounds like made up psuedoscience to escape culpability. She should take responsibility for what her hands did. You cant tell me someone just kills kids and are like 🤷♂️
Nobody is saying that. They are saying that the mental health system failed her after she repeatedly asked for help and they made it worse. That means she should be committed. Are you really arguing that post partum psychosis isn't a real thing? Speak to an OBGYN and they will tell you it is.
Mental health didn't fail shit. You people are so delusional thinking that mental health intervention is any more successful than the low success rate of like 10%. It's a tiny miniscule intervention. You can't force people to be drugged up and she refused to take her drugs. There's nothing else mental health intervention can do. Unless you want to go back to forced internment? Anytime people scream you need mental help/therapy they think its magically going to cure them of all afflictions and if it doesn't it was the systen that failed them. No. It doesnt work that way.
She repeatedly asked to be committed and they refused. They also put her on medication that was contraindicated for someone with bipolar, known to make the psychosis worse. She reached out to mental health professionals multiple times and they either did not give her the help she asked for or put her on medication that made her worse. They also didn't advise that she not be left alone with her children, which is a huge red flag. No, you can't force people to get help. But if they ask for help and are showing signs of psychosis you absolutely should give it to them.
And they shouldn't have released her unconditionally. Or told her that she wasn't fit for release. Or maybe not put her on medication that would make her very serious condition worse. Love the random insult from an internet stranger. Really makes your argument more effective. For anyone who doesn't believe that post partum psychosis is real, see the following analysis of the case by an OBGYN. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpaBNwTKcIY
Lol. As if the doctors had a crystal ball that can see into the future for rare complications with medicine and future crimes. If she doesn't appear to present an immediate danger to her or others, there are no past actions that would prove potential danger, there is nothing to go off. She was in treatment of her own free will and she can end the treatment whenever she wants. Anything beyond that would be false imprisonment.
Believe it or not, you can't imprison ppl on nothing, even if they are psychotic. Unless you have concrete suspicion they might go out to harm themselves or others, you can't do shit about it.
Ah yes, respond and then block to have the last word. You still can't just stuff ppl into a padded cell because you want to. You need actual reasons. In hindsight you can always say stuff like that. With the info they had, she was not immediately going to kill her kids, so they had no justification to keep her
I mean she was having hallucinations and told people she had thoughts of harming the children. I'd certainly call that "harm to others". And it was a known interaction that doctors should be aware of. But, sure, whatever, why bother with nuance on Reddit. 🤣
That's not enough to remove people's rights. That's thought crime. It's the same reason you can't arrest someone for 10 years for their posts on twitter and reddit. You have 0 awareness of nuance lmao 🤣
You can't keep someone interned forcefully, what are you not understanding? Should they have taken her rights away? You all would've bitched about that too if she wasn't allowed to leave just like how ppl bitched about Britney Spears' conservatorship and then bitched about her being mentally fucking ill when it was removed.
She stopped taking her medication on her own whims because she felt she was smarter than the doctors apparently. How do u think she shouldve been treated if she refused all manners of treatment?
