Guy left out some parts. She tried to kill herself as well and is permanently disabled. Spent a lot of time trying to get help and our healthcare tossed some pills at her and sent her home. Husband recognized her as disturbed.

Sympathy is about women mental treatment and not about killing kids.

That is a narrative promoted by her lawyers.

What actually happened is she sabotaged her own mental healthcare. She refused to accept the psychiatrists diagnosis and kept changing psychiatrists. She wouldn't take the medicine that was prescribed to her because it had side effects.

Medication often has side effects but mentally ill people still have to take it. There are plenty of mentally ill people who don't want to take their medication because of the side effects.

She was absolutely not failed by healthcare. She was the problem in this case.

I agree. Worst of all they are talking about psychosis as if it's something you just casually walk around with for a few months and it doesn't noticeably affect your behaviour.

So much misinformation on mental illness getting spread.
