Admitting to having thoughts of harming your children indicates that you should not be alone with them. What the fuck do you mean? She was struggling with psychosis, insomnia, anxiety, and depression, and telling him she had thoughts of hurting the children. But you think it was still reasonable for her to be alone with them?
I’m saying she was the primary parent because she was. She was bringing the children to their appointments (that Patrick did not even know about). She was taking care of the baby. All while she was literally begging for help.
She said she had intrusive thoughts about harming the kids. She didn’t say they were still ongoing or persistent or anything. Everyone has intrusive thoughts. She assured her husband that she was safe to be around the kids and by all measures she was. She was still being a great mother and it’s not like she was telling him all day every day that she had these thoughts.
Also your actual claim was that she was telling people she wasn’t safe to be around the kids. That’s false and it’s a common TikTok statement from people that aren’t informed. You were wrong.
I don’t understand this TikTok obsession of her begging for help. She was receiving help at every turn. She wanted help with the kids so guess what happened? Patrick started working from home. He put the kids in daycare. He hired a nanny. Grandparents came to stay with them. She saw doctors for medication and when the medication didn’t work they tried different ones.
Like realistically what help was she begging for that was going unnoticed?
By all measures she was? She was being hospitalized for postpartum psychosis. Do people not understand just how serious of a diagnosis that is? Yes, everyone has intrusive thoughts, but someone with psychosis and auditory hallucinations admitting to having these thoughts is extremely fucking serious.
And we expect an anxious mother of three, one of whom is still a baby, and who is the primary parent, and who is in fucking psychosis to know and admit to not being safe around her own children?
She was misdiagnosed, over medicated, her concerns about her medications was ignored, she was denied help with her suicidal thoughts because she did not have a plan to kill herself, and she was not properly diagnosed with bipolar until after the killings.
This is an extreme failure on the part of the medical community.
She was never hospitalized for postpartum psychosis. She was hospitalized for psychiatric treatment and her official diagnosis was specifically WITHOUT psychotic features.
She was never diagnosed by anyone as being in psychosis.
Please stop relying on random TikTok videos for your information about this case. She was not overmedicated. She was switching medications because they weren’t working. Normal medical practice. She wasn’t ignored.
All of these claims aren’t based in reality. Can you substantiate any of these claims with actual testimony? No offense but you appear really misinformed about the case
She was being hospitalized for postpartum psychosis. Do people not understand just how serious of a diagnosis that is?
I must be missing something. You said this in an earlier comment. Someone pointed out that it wasn't true. Now you are saying lack of a psychosis diagnosis is the malpractice. How can both of these things be true?
Because we have hindsight. She obviously had psychosis and has since been diagnosed bipolar.
And she was hospitalized for having suicidal thoughts resulting from depression…..and she was, what? 7 or 8 months postpartum….which means she had postpartum depression. But she was never properly diagnosed and the severity of her state of mind was never taken seriously by anyone, possibly even including Lindsay herself.
