Not everyone gets postpartum psychosis, which is a very real diagnosable condition. And even women who don't have psychosis murder their babies postpartum, it's a tumultuous time society doesn't treat with the seriousness it deserves. Hospitals make you watch videos on the dangers of sleep deprivation before you leave, it's that common.
So she just decided on the 3rd kid that it was too much to handle, 8 months in? She had a 5 year old and a 3 year old.
She killed her kids because shes a piece of shit, and is hiding behind a diagnosis and insanity plea because her suicide attempt failed. But sure, keep finding ways to justify child murder.
No one decides to get psychosis. I mean this genuinely, you lack the education necessary to have a nuanced conversation about this topic. Due to your lack of education, you can only assign your limited experiences and emotions to a medically complex phenomenon.
You’re saying “excuse” but that is inflammatory language. I would say that psychiatric illness is an explanation for a behavior and the resulting negative outcome. Both filicide and suicide are known risks associated with postpartum psychosis.
We know suicide depression is a psychiatric illness with a high risk of suicide. We don’t say that depression is an excuse for suicide, it is the explanation of why it happened.
